Anglesite and Actinolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anglesite and Actinolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anglesite and Actinolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anglesite is 3.00 whereas that of Actinolite is 3.00.
