Clinochlore and Bayldonite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Clinochlore and Bayldonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Clinochlore and Bayldonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Clinochlore is 5.50 whereas that of Bayldonite is 5.50.
