Moonstone and Cavansite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moonstone 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 Moonstone and Cavansite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Moonstone- Plagioclase Feldspar s: (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8 Orthoclase Feldspar : KAlSi3O8
  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)

Moonstone and Cavansite Specific Gravity

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