Lazurite and Gypsum Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Lazurite and Gypsum Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Lazurite Vs Gypsum during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Lazurite is whereas that of Gypsum is .
