Jeremejevite and Halite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Jeremejevite and Halite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Jeremejevite and Halite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Jeremejevite is 2.17 whereas that of Halite is 2.17.
