Williamsite and Thomsonite Specific Gravity

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