Hibschite and Hambergite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hibschite and Hambergite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hibschite and Hambergite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hibschite is 2.33-2.37 whereas that of Hambergite is 2.33-2.37.
