Gibbsite and Langbeinite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gibbsite and Langbeinite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gibbsite and Langbeinite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gibbsite is Not Available whereas that of Langbeinite is Not Available.
