Cacoxenite and Ekanite Physical Properties

Cacoxenite and Ekanite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cacoxenite 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 Cacoxenite and Ekanite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Ekanite- ThCa 2Si 8O 20Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Cacoxenite and Ekanite Specific Gravity

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