Sulfur and Corundum Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sulfur and Corundum Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sulfur and Corundum Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sulfur is 3.90-4.05 whereas that of Corundum is 3.90-4.05.
