Viridine and Pollucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Viridine and Pollucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Viridine Vs Pollucite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Viridine is whereas that of Pollucite is .
