Spinel and Quartz Specific Gravity

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