Fluorite and Anatase Optic Character

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

Fluorite and Anatase Transparency

Similar to their colors, Fluorite and Anatase 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, Fluorite is while Fluorite is in appearance.
