Gaspeite and Cacoxenite Physical Properties

Gaspeite and Cacoxenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Gaspeite and Cacoxenite 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 Gaspeite and Cacoxenite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Gaspeite- (Ni,Mg,Fe++)CO3
• Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)

Gaspeite and Cacoxenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Gaspeite and Cacoxenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Gaspeite and Cacoxenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Gaspeite is 2.2-2.6 whereas that of Cacoxenite is 2.2-2.6.
