Cacoxenite and Pectolite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cacoxenite and Pectolite 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 Pectolite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Pectolite- Ca 2NaHSi 3O 9Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Cacoxenite and Pectolite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cacoxenite and Pectolite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cacoxenite and Pectolite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cacoxenite is 2.74-2.90 whereas that of Pectolite is 2.74-2.90.
