Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite Chemical Formula

While comparing Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite 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 Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe- Ca2Fe++Al2BO3Si4O12(OH)
  • Chemical formula of Apatite- Ca 5(PO 4) 3(F,OH,Cl)Walter Schumann , Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references

Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe and Apatite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Ferro-axinite Axinite-Fe is 3.16-3.23 whereas that of Apatite is 3.16-3.23.
