Xonotlite and Demantoid Physical Properties

Xonotlite and Demantoid Chemical Formula

While comparing Xonotlite and Demantoid 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 Xonotlite and Demantoid chemical formula.

• Chemical formula of Xonotlite- Ca 6Si 6O 17(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
• Chemical formula of Demantoid- Ca 3Fe 2(SiO 4) 3Ulrich Henn and Claudio C.

Xonotlite and Demantoid Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xonotlite and Demantoid Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xonotlite and Demantoid Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xonotlite is 3.77-3.95 whereas that of Demantoid is 3.77-3.95.
