Anhydrite and Weloganite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Anhydrite and Weloganite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Anhydrite and Weloganite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Anhydrite is 3.20-3.22 whereas that of Weloganite is 3.20-3.22.
