Uvite and Cavansite Chemical Formula

While comparing Uvite and Cavansite 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 Uvite and Cavansite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Uvite- Ca(Mg 3)MgAl 5(Si 6O 18)(BO 3) 3(OH) 3(OH)Gemdat.org , Management Team (2012)
  • Chemical formula of Cavansite- Ca(VO)Si4O10•4(H2O)

Uvite and Cavansite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvite and Cavansite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvite and Cavansite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvite is 2.25-2.33 whereas that of Cavansite is 2.25-2.33.
