Chlorite group and Lazurite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chlorite group and Lazurite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chlorite group Vs Lazurite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chlorite group is whereas that of Lazurite is .
