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