Vesuvianite Idocrase and Cryolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vesuvianite Idocrase and Cryolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vesuvianite Idocrase and Cryolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vesuvianite Idocrase is 2.97 whereas that of Cryolite is 2.97.
