Wardite and Selenite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Wardite and Selenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Wardite and Selenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Wardite is Not Available whereas that of Selenite is Not Available.
