Diaspore and Johachidolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Diaspore and Johachidolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Diaspore and Johachidolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Diaspore is 3.45 whereas that of Johachidolite is 3.45.
