Anatase and Sphene Specific Gravity

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