Anhydrite and Heliodor Specific Gravity

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