Hauyne and Chabazite Chemical Formula
While comparing Hauyne and Chabazite 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 Hauyne and Chabazite chemical formula.
- Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2
- Chemical formula of Chabazite- CaAl 2Si 4O 12 -6H 2OArthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
Hauyne and Chabazite Specific Gravity
Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hauyne and Chabazite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hauyne and Chabazite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hauyne is 2.08-2.16 whereas that of Chabazite is 2.08-2.16.
