Cacoxenite and Forsterite Physical Properties

Cacoxenite and Forsterite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cacoxenite and Forsterite 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 Forsterite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Forsterite- Mg 2SiO 4Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Cacoxenite and Forsterite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Forsterite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Forsterite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 3.23-3.26 whereas that of Forsterite is 3.23-3.26.
