Cavansite and Anorthoclase Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Anorthoclase 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 Anorthoclase chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Anorthoclase- (Na,K)AlSi 3O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)

Cavansite and Anorthoclase Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Anorthoclase Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Anorthoclase Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.56-2.62 whereas that of Anorthoclase is 2.56-2.62.
