Specific gravities are expressed in decimal numbers, for example, 4.00 for corundum, 3.52 for diamond, and 2.72 for quartz. Zircon, one of the densest of all gemstones, may have a specific gravity as high as 4.73! Specific gravity is an important tool in gemstone identification that is useful for the gem buyer as well as the gemologist.

It enables silica (of a required portion) to melt at the furnace temperature of 1650oC and binds the particles of together resulting in strong and durable bricks. At about 1100o C, lime acts as a catalyst to elevate the furnace temperature to 1650oC at which silica fuses. This slightly fused silica works as a strong cementing material.
