Cavansite and Rock Crystal Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Rock Crystal 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 Rock Crystal chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Rock Crystal- SiO 2Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Cavansite and Rock Crystal Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Rock Crystal Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Rock Crystal Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.65 whereas that of Rock Crystal is 2.65.
