Sugilite and Tinaksite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sugilite and Tinaksite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sugilite and Tinaksite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sugilite is 2.82 whereas that of Tinaksite is 2.82.
