Ammonite and Euclase Optic Character

Ammonite and Euclase optical properties play a significant role while distinguishing these gemstones from each other. These properties are influenced by the Ammonite and Euclase Physical Properties like crystallographic symmetry, pleochroism,etc. in the crystal. Some of the optical properties are refractive index, luster, optic character, pleochroism etc. Prominent among these is Ammonite and Euclase optic character. You might have noticed your gemologist rotating the gemstone while testing it. Rotating a gemstone along its optic axis helps in determining its optic character.

Ammonite and Euclase Transparency

Similar to their colors, Ammonite and Euclase transparency can also be used as criteria for their primary identification. Although transparency cannot be the only criteria for gemstone identification, it can efficiently used in gemstone grading. Talking about their transparency, Ammonite is Not Available while Ammonite is Not Available in appearance.
