Dioptase and Anyolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Dioptase and Anyolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Dioptase and Anyolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Dioptase is 3.20-3.50 whereas that of Anyolite is 3.20-3.50.
