Ekanite and Aquamarine Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ekanite and Aquamarine Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ekanite and Aquamarine Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ekanite is 2.66-2.80 whereas that of Aquamarine is 2.66-2.80.
