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