Dichte von Edelsteinen — Referenztabelle
Dichte von 132 Edelsteinarten: Minimal-, Typisch- und Maximalwerte, absteigend sortiert. Die Dichte wird durch hydrostatisches Wiegen gemessen — den Stein in Luft und dann in Wasser hängend wiegen — und funktioniert an unpoliertem Rohmaterial, aber nicht an gefassten Steinen.
Die Edelsteinnamen erscheinen in ihrer internationalen Handelsform (Englisch) und verlinken auf die Detailseite jeder Art (auf Englisch).
Geben Sie Ihre Messung in Loupewise ein — die Engine grenzt die Kandidaten automatisch ein. Die App ist auf Deutsch verfügbar.

Wie hoch ist die Dichte von Diamant?
Die Dichte von Diamant beträgt 3.50–3.53. Imitationen liefern andere Werte — Zirkonia ist deutlich dichter (5.60–6.00), weshalb hydrostatisches Wiegen beide schnell trennt.
Welcher Edelstein hat die höchste Dichte?
Unter den 132 Edelsteinen dieser Referenz ist Cinnabar der dichteste (8.00–8.20). Die vollständige Tabelle ordnet alle Arten absteigend.
Wie wird die Dichte gemessen?
Durch hydrostatisches Wiegen: den Stein in Luft wiegen, dann in Wasser hängend — das Verhältnis ergibt die Dichte. Funktioniert an losen, rohen und unregelmäßigen Steinen, aber nicht an gefassten Steinen: das Metall macht die Messung wertlos.
