Amethyst and Chambersite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Amethyst and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Amethyst and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Amethyst is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
