Hexagonite and Zircon Chemical Formula

While comparing Hexagonite and Zircon 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 Zircon chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Hexagonite- Ca 2Mg 5Si 8O 22(OH) 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Zircon- ZrSiO4

Hexagonite and Zircon Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Hexagonite and Zircon Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Hexagonite and Zircon Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Hexagonite is 3.93-4.73 whereas that of Zircon is 3.93-4.73.
