  • Chemical formula of Apatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3(F,OH,Cl)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Ametrine and Apatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ametrine and Apatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ametrine and Apatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ametrine is 3.16-3.23 whereas that of Apatite is 3.16-3.23.
