Spinel and Schorl Specific Gravity

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