Whitlockite and Anatase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Whitlockite and Anatase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Whitlockite Vs Anatase during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Whitlockite is whereas that of Anatase is .
