Sylvite and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sylvite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sylvite Vs Brucite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sylvite is whereas that of Brucite is .
