  • Chemical formula of Apatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3(F,OH,Cl)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Vanadinite and Apatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Vanadinite and Apatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Vanadinite and Apatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Vanadinite is 3.16-3.23 whereas that of Apatite is 3.16-3.23.
