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