Sulfur and Wavellite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Sulfur and Wavellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Sulfur and Wavellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Sulfur is 2.36 whereas that of Wavellite is 2.36.
