Sugilite and Piemontite Specific Gravity

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