Scolecite and Morion Chemical Formula

While comparing Scolecite and Morion 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 Morion chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Scolecite- CaAl 2Si 3O 10 · 3H 2OUlrich Henn and Claudio C.
  • Chemical formula of Morion- SiO 2Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Scolecite and Morion Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Scolecite and Morion Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Scolecite and Morion Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Scolecite is 2.65 whereas that of Morion is 2.65.
