Chrysoprase and Binghamite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Chrysoprase and Binghamite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Chrysoprase and Binghamite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Chrysoprase is 2.55-2.70 whereas that of Binghamite is 2.55-2.70.
