Lepidocrocite and Anhydrite Specific Gravity

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