Agate and Villiaumite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Agate and Villiaumite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Agate and Villiaumite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Agate is 2.79 whereas that of Villiaumite is 2.79.
