Uvite and Sylvite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvite and Sylvite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvite and Sylvite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvite is 1.993 whereas that of Sylvite is 1.993.
