Cavansite and Periclase Optic Character

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

Cavansite and Periclase Transparency

Similar to their colors, Cavansite and Periclase 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, Cavansite is Not Available while Cavansite is Not Available in appearance.
