Cavansite and Hexagonite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Hexagonite 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 Hexagonite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Hexagonite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Cavansite and Hexagonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Hexagonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Hexagonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.98-3.03 whereas that of Hexagonite is 2.98-3.03.
