Xonotlite and Thulite Chemical Formula

While comparing Xonotlite and Thulite 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 Thulite chemical formula.

  • Chemical formula of Xonotlite- Ca 6Si 6O 17(OH) 2Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006)
  • Chemical formula of Thulite- Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH)

Xonotlite and Thulite Specific Gravity

Another important criteria for qualitative analysis of gemstones is Xonotlite and Thulite Specific gravity. Specific gravity is the relative density of a gemstone compared with respect to density of water. Gemologists use Xonotlite and Thulite Optical Properties during the identification of gemstone. Specific gravity of Xonotlite is 3.1 whereas that of Thulite is 3.1.
