  • Chemical formula of Gibbsite- Al(OH)3

Eosphorite and Gibbsite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Eosphorite and Gibbsite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Eosphorite and Gibbsite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Eosphorite is 2.35 whereas that of Gibbsite is 2.35.
