  • 3.6: Density and Specific Gravity
    https://geo.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Geology/Mineralogy_(Perkins_et_al.)/03%3A_Mineral_Properties/3.06%3A_Density_and_Specific_Gravity
    Specific gravity (unitless) is the ratio of the mass of a mineral to the mass of an equal volume of water at 1 atm, and because mass and weight are proportional, we normally determine specific gravity...Specific gravity (unitless) is the ratio of the mass of a mineral to the mass of an equal volume of water at 1 atm, and because mass and weight are proportional, we normally determine specific gravity by comparing weights.
