Anglesite and Hambergite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anglesite and Hambergite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anglesite and Hambergite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anglesite is 2.33-2.37 whereas that of Hambergite is 2.33-2.37.
