  • Chemical formula of Hydrophane- SiO 2 · nH 2OWalter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Sapphire and Hydrophane Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sapphire and Hydrophane Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sapphire and Hydrophane Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sapphire is 1.98-2.50 whereas that of Hydrophane is 1.98-2.50.
