Cacoxenite and Fayalite Optic Character

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

Cacoxenite and Fayalite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Cacoxenite and Fayalite 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, Cacoxenite is Not Available while Cacoxenite is Not Available in appearance.
