Variscite and Cacoxenite Chemical Formula

While comparing Variscite 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 Variscite and Cacoxenite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Variscite- AlPO4 · 2(H2O)
  • Chemical formula of Cacoxenite- (Fe+++,Al)25(PO4)17O6(OH)12•75(H2O)

Variscite and Cacoxenite Specific Gravity

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