Cacoxenite and Chromite Chemical Formula
While comparing Cacoxenite and Chromite 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 Chromite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Chromite- Fe++Cr2O4
Cacoxenite and Chromite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Chromite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Chromite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 4.5-4.8 whereas that of Chromite is 4.5-4.8.
