Cacoxenite and Moss Agate Chemical Formula
While comparing Cacoxenite and Moss Agate 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 Moss Agate chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Moss Agate- SiO 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)
Cacoxenite and Moss Agate Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Moss Agate Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Moss Agate Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 2.58-2.64 whereas that of Moss Agate is 2.58-2.64.
