Cacoxenite and Anorthite Physical Properties

Cacoxenite and Anorthite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cacoxenite and Anorthite 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 Cacoxenite and Anorthite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Anorthite- CaAl 2Si 2O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Cacoxenite and Anorthite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Anorthite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Anorthite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 2.77 whereas that of Anorthite is 2.77.
