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