Sinhalite and Parisite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sinhalite and Parisite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sinhalite and Parisite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sinhalite is 4.33-4.42 whereas that of Parisite is 4.33-4.42.
