Clinochlore and Mimetite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Clinochlore and Mimetite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Clinochlore and Mimetite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Clinochlore is 7.10 whereas that of Mimetite is 7.10.
