Fayalite and Agrellite Optic Character

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

Fayalite and Agrellite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Fayalite and Agrellite 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, Fayalite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) and TransparentAnthony et al while Fayalite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) and TransparentAnthony et al in appearance.
