Anhydrite and Glass Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anhydrite and Glass Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anhydrite and Glass Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anhydrite is 2.39-4.00 whereas that of Glass is 2.39-4.00.
