Cavansite and Vesuvianite Physical Properties

Cavansite and Vesuvianite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Vesuvianite 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 Vesuvianite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
• Chemical formula of Vesuvianite- Ca10(Mg,Fe)2Al4(SiO4)5(Si2O7)2(OH)4

Cavansite and Vesuvianite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Vesuvianite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Vesuvianite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 3.32-3.43 whereas that of Vesuvianite is 3.32-3.43.
