Anhydrite and Lawsonite Specific Gravity

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