Cavansite and Liddicoatite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Liddicoatite 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 Liddicoatite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Liddicoatite- Ca(Li 2Al)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Cavansite and Liddicoatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Liddicoatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Liddicoatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 3.02 whereas that of Liddicoatite is 3.02.
