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