Hemimorphite and Hemimorphite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hemimorphite and Hemimorphite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hemimorphite and Hemimorphite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hemimorphite is 3.30-3.50 whereas that of Hemimorphite is 3.30-3.50.
