Diaspore and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diaspore and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diaspore Vs Brucite during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diaspore is whereas that of Brucite is .
