Tremolite and Ammolite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Tremolite and Ammolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Tremolite and Ammolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Tremolite is 2.75-2.80 whereas that of Ammolite is 2.75-2.80.
