Anglesite and Clinohumite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anglesite and Clinohumite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anglesite and Clinohumite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anglesite is 3.13-3.75 whereas that of Clinohumite is 3.13-3.75.
