Sulfur and Turquoise Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sulfur and Turquoise Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sulfur and Turquoise Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sulfur is 2.30-2.90 whereas that of Turquoise is 2.30-2.90.
