Bowenite and Ekanite Chemical Formula

While comparing Bowenite and Ekanite 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 Bowenite and Ekanite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Bowenite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 3Si 2O 5(OH) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)
  • Chemical formula of Ekanite- ThCa 2Si 8O 20Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Bowenite and Ekanite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Bowenite and Ekanite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Bowenite and Ekanite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Bowenite is 3.28-3.32 whereas that of Ekanite is 3.28-3.32.
