Xenotime and Kunzite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xenotime and Kunzite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xenotime and Kunzite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xenotime is 3.15-3.21 whereas that of Kunzite is 3.15-3.21.
