Anatase and Sonolite Optic Character

Anatase and Sonolite optical properties play a significant role while distinguishing these gemstones from each other. These properties are influenced by the Anatase and Sonolite 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 Anatase and Sonolite 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.

Anatase and Sonolite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Anatase and Sonolite 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, Anatase is Transparent while Anatase is Transparent in appearance.
