Papagoite and Moroxite Chemical Formula

While comparing Papagoite and Moroxite 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 Moroxite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Papagoite- CaCuAlSi 2O 6(OH) 3Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Moroxite- Ca 5(F,Cl)(PO 4) 3Arthur Thomas , Gemstones (2009)

Papagoite and Moroxite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Papagoite and Moroxite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Papagoite and Moroxite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Papagoite is 3.13-3.26 whereas that of Moroxite is 3.13-3.26.
