Londonite and Brucite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Londonite and Brucite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Londonite and Brucite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Londonite is 2.39 whereas that of Brucite is 2.39.
