Anatase and Hyalite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anatase and Hyalite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anatase and Hyalite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anatase is Not Available whereas that of Hyalite is Not Available.
