Selenite and Wardite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Selenite and Wardite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Selenite and Wardite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Selenite is 2.81 whereas that of Wardite is 2.81.
