Moroxite and Simpsonite Chemical Formula

While comparing Moroxite and Simpsonite 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 Moroxite and Simpsonite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Moroxite- Ca 5(F,Cl)(PO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)
  • Chemical formula of Simpsonite- Al 4(Ta,Nb) 3(O,OH,F) 14Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Moroxite and Simpsonite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Moroxite and Simpsonite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Moroxite and Simpsonite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Moroxite is Not Available whereas that of Simpsonite is Not Available.
