- Chemical formula of Stibiotantalite- SbTaO 4Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
Actinolite and Stibiotantalite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Actinolite and Stibiotantalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Actinolite and Stibiotantalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Actinolite is Not Available whereas that of Stibiotantalite is Not Available.
