Cobaltite and Oligoclase Optic Character

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

Cobaltite and Oligoclase Transparency

Similar to their colors, Cobaltite and Oligoclase 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, Cobaltite is Gems while Cobaltite is Gems in appearance.
