  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)

Hypersthene and Cavansite Specific Gravity

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