Stichtite and Simpsonite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Stichtite and Simpsonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Stichtite and Simpsonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Stichtite is Not Available whereas that of Simpsonite is Not Available.
