Cavansite and Muscovite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Muscovite 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 Muscovite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Muscovite- KAl 2AlSi 3O 10(OH) 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Cavansite and Muscovite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Muscovite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Muscovite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.78-2.88 whereas that of Muscovite is 2.78-2.88.
