Scolecite and Hauyne Chemical Formula

While comparing Scolecite and Hauyne 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 Scolecite and Hauyne chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Scolecite- CaAl 2Si 3O 10 · 3H 2OUlrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Hauyne- (Na,Ca)4-8Al6Si6(O,S)24(SO4,Cl)1-2

Scolecite and Hauyne Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Scolecite and Hauyne Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Scolecite and Hauyne Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Scolecite is 2.4-2.5 whereas that of Hauyne is 2.4-2.5.
