Uvite and Hanksite Chemical Formula

While comparing Uvite and Hanksite 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 Hanksite 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 Hanksite- KNa22(SO4)9(CO3)2Cl

Uvite and Hanksite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Uvite and Hanksite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Uvite and Hanksite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Uvite is 2.562 whereas that of Hanksite is 2.562.
