Definition
The specific gravity of zeolite is the ratio of the density of zeolite to that of a reference substance (Usually water).
This information can be used to tell whether zeolite will float (or sink) if dropped in water (Buoyancy).
Formula
SG = ρzeolite / ρwater
Note: Both densities need to be in the same unit as they will cancel each other and produce SG.

Specific Gravity vs Density vs Specific Weight
There are important differences between density, specific weight and specific gravity. Follow these links to learn about the differences between them.
I will provide you the zeolite specific gravity in a dimensionless unit (Unitless) in this page. You may check how it converts to kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³ by following the link below:

SG = 2 to 2.4

Specific gravity values are not very useful. Why not check the density of zeolite (all units)?
