Uvarovite and Richterite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvarovite and Richterite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvarovite and Richterite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvarovite is 3.0-3.5 whereas that of Richterite is 3.0-3.5.
