Cavansite and Schorlomite Chemical Formula
While comparing Cavansite and Schorlomite 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 Schorlomite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
- Chemical formula of Schorlomite- Ca 3Ti4+2(Fe3+2Si)O 12Michael OâDonoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
Cavansite and Schorlomite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Schorlomite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Schorlomite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 3.77-3.93 whereas that of Schorlomite is 3.77-3.93.
