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