Cacoxenite and Microcline Chemical Formula

While comparing Cacoxenite and Microcline 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 Microcline chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Microcline- KAlSi 3O 8Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Cacoxenite and Microcline Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Microcline Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Microcline Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 2.55-2.63 whereas that of Microcline is 2.55-2.63.
