Adamite and Sphene Specific Gravity

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