Chabazite and Chrysoprase Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chabazite and Chrysoprase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chabazite and Chrysoprase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chabazite is 2.58-2.64 whereas that of Chrysoprase is 2.58-2.64.
