Fibrolite and Sonolite Optic Character

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

Fibrolite and Sonolite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Fibrolite and Sonolite 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, Fibrolite is Transparent while Fibrolite is Transparent in appearance.
