- Chemical formula of Esperite- PbCa 3Zn 4(SiO 4) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
Diamond and Esperite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diamond and Esperite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diamond and Esperite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diamond is 4.28-4.42 whereas that of Esperite is 4.28-4.42.
