Biotite and Chambersite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Biotite and Chambersite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Biotite and Chambersite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Biotite is 3.50 whereas that of Chambersite is 3.50.
