Vlasovite and Forsterite Specific Gravity

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