Alexandrite and Analcime Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Alexandrite and Analcime Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Alexandrite and Analcime Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Alexandrite is 2.24-2.29 whereas that of Analcime is 2.24-2.29.
