Cavansite and Marialite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Marialite 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 Marialite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Marialite- 3NaAlSi 3O 8 · NaClAnthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Cavansite and Marialite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Marialite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Marialite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.50 whereas that of Marialite is 2.50.
