Hypersthene and Ammolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hypersthene and Ammolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hypersthene and Ammolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hypersthene is 2.75-2.80 whereas that of Ammolite is 2.75-2.80.
