Cavansite and Wulfenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Cavansite and Wulfenite 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 Wulfenite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Wulfenite- PbMoO 4Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001)

Cavansite and Wulfenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Cavansite and Wulfenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Cavansite and Wulfenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Cavansite is 6.50-7.00 whereas that of Wulfenite is 6.50-7.00.
