Anhydrite and Blue spinel Specific Gravity

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