Serendibite and Cacoxenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Serendibite and Cacoxenite 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 Serendibite and Cacoxenite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Serendibite- Ca 2(Mg,Al) 6(Si,Al,B) 6O 20Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006) More from other references
  • Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)

Serendibite and Cacoxenite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Serendibite and Cacoxenite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Serendibite and Cacoxenite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Serendibite is 2.2-2.6 whereas that of Cacoxenite is 2.2-2.6.
