Hexagonite and Thulite Chemical Formula

While comparing Hexagonite and Thulite 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 Hexagonite and Thulite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hexagonite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Thulite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)

Hexagonite and Thulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hexagonite and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hexagonite and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hexagonite is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
