Axinite and Cavansite Chemical Formula

While comparing Axinite and Cavansite physical properties, the important data you should know is its chemical composition. Since chemical formula defines the molecular structure of the crystal, most of the physical properties like color, tenacity, solubility are governed by Axinite and Cavansite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Axinite- (Ca,Fe,Mn,Mg) 3Al 2BSi 4O 15(OH)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)

Axinite and Cavansite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Axinite and Cavansite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Axinite and Cavansite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Axinite is 2.25-2.33 whereas that of Cavansite is 2.25-2.33.
