Papagoite and Humite Chemical Formula

While comparing Papagoite and Humite 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 Papagoite and Humite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Papagoite- CaCuAlSi 2O 6(OH) 3Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Humite- (Mg,Fe2+ ) 7(SiO 4) 3(F,OH) 2Anthony et al , Handbook of mineralogy (2001)

Papagoite and Humite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Papagoite and Humite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Papagoite and Humite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Papagoite is 3.20-3.32 whereas that of Humite is 3.20-3.32.
