gravity of gemstone can also be measured by using the heavy liquids. The gemstone is placed in a heavy liquid whose specific gravity is known. If the gem floats on the liquid, the specific gravity is less than that of liquid. It will get sink if specific gravity is high and will remain suspended if specific gravity is very close to that of

The 2 heavy liquids I use for immersion are methylene iodide and benzyl benzoate. Heavy liquids used for SG are labor intensive as the slightest contamination results in the need to recalibrate the liquid. One normally keeps a series of "floaters" in the liquids to make sure they are working properly.
