Diaspore and Analcime Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diaspore and Analcime Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diaspore and Analcime Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diaspore is 2.24-2.29 whereas that of Analcime is 2.24-2.29.
