Actinolite and Helenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Actinolite and Helenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Actinolite and Helenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Actinolite is Not Available whereas that of Helenite is Not Available.
