Chalcedony and Eosphorite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chalcedony and Eosphorite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chalcedony and Eosphorite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chalcedony is 3.05-3.08 whereas that of Eosphorite is 3.05-3.08.
