Anorthite and Cryolite Specific Gravity

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