Sinhalite and Elaeolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sinhalite and Elaeolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sinhalite and Elaeolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sinhalite is 2.55-2.67 whereas that of Elaeolite is 2.55-2.67.
