Sillimanite and Magnetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sillimanite and Magnetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sillimanite Vs Magnetite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sillimanite is whereas that of Magnetite is .
