Hematite and Cavansite Physical Properties

Hematite and Cavansite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hematite and Cavansite 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 Hematite and Cavansite chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Hematite- Fe 2O 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
• Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)

Hematite and Cavansite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hematite and Cavansite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hematite and Cavansite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hematite is 2.25-2.33 whereas that of Cavansite is 2.25-2.33.
