Leucite and Hayne Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Leucite and Hayne Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Leucite and Hayne Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Leucite is 2.40-2.50 whereas that of Hayne is 2.40-2.50.
