Thulite and Anglesite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Thulite and Anglesite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Thulite and Anglesite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Thulite is 6.30-6.39 whereas that of Anglesite is 6.30-6.39.
