Feldspar and Zincite Optic Character

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

Feldspar and Zincite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Feldspar and Zincite 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, Feldspar is Translucent and Transparent while Feldspar is Translucent and Transparent in appearance.
