Cancrinite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Cancrinite and Morion 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 Cancrinite and Morion chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cancrinite- Na 2Ca 2Al 6Si 6O 24(CO 3) 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Cancrinite and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cancrinite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cancrinite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cancrinite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
