  • Chemical formula of Calcite- CaCO 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Chromite and Calcite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chromite and Calcite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chromite and Calcite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chromite is 2.67-2.73 whereas that of Calcite is 2.67-2.73.
