Cavansite and Rose Quartz Chemical Formula
While comparing Cavansite and Rose Quartz 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 Rose Quartz chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Rose Quartz- SiO2
Cavansite and Rose Quartz Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Rose Quartz Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Rose Quartz Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 2.65 whereas that of Rose Quartz is 2.65.
