Sylvite and Microlite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sylvite and Microlite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sylvite and Microlite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sylvite is 5.5 whereas that of Microlite is 5.5.
