Vlasovite and Baryte Barite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vlasovite and Baryte Barite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vlasovite and Baryte Barite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vlasovite is 4.43-4.46 whereas that of Baryte Barite is 4.43-4.46.
