Apatite and Hyacinth Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Apatite and Hyacinth Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Apatite and Hyacinth Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Apatite is 3.93-4.73 whereas that of Hyacinth is 3.93-4.73.
