Pectolite and Anorthoclase Specific Gravity

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