Sugilite and Cristinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sugilite and Cristinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sugilite and Cristinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sugilite is 2.6-3.6 whereas that of Cristinite is 2.6-3.6.
