Uvite and Cancrinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvite and Cancrinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvite and Cancrinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvite is 2.42-2.52 whereas that of Cancrinite is 2.42-2.52.
