  • Chemical formula of Adamite- Zn 2(AsO 4)(OH)Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth edition (2006)

Chromite and Adamite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chromite and Adamite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chromite and Adamite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chromite is 4.32-4.48 whereas that of Adamite is 4.32-4.48.
