Analcime and Kainite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Analcime and Kainite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Analcime and Kainite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Analcime is 2.15 whereas that of Kainite is 2.15.
