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