Cavansite and Schorl Physical Properties

Cavansite and Schorl Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Schorl 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 Schorl chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Schorl- Na(Fe2+3)Al 6(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)

Cavansite and Schorl Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Schorl Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Schorl Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 3.18-3.22 whereas that of Schorl is 3.18-3.22.
