Cavansite and Agrellite Chemical Formula
While comparing Cavansite and Agrellite 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 Cavansite and Agrellite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Agrellite- NaCa2Si4O10F
Cavansite and Agrellite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Agrellite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Agrellite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.88 whereas that of Agrellite is 2.88.
