Chabazite and Chambersite Specific Gravity

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