Humite and Sulfur Specific Gravity

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