Cavansite and Lizardite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Lizardite 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 Lizardite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Lizardite- Mg 3Si 2O 5(OH) 4Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Cavansite and Lizardite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Lizardite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Lizardite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.55 whereas that of Lizardite is 2.55.
