Gemstone Specific Gravity Calculator

Hydrostatic weighing method — weigh in air, then fully submerged in water

Enter measurements

Formula: SG = W_air / (W_air − W_water)
Use a scale precise to at least 0.001 g. Submerge the stone fully in distilled water at room temperature, touching nothing but the suspension wire or basket.
