Girasol and Fayalite Optic Character

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

Girasol and Fayalite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Girasol and Fayalite 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, Girasol is Transparent while Girasol is Transparent in appearance.
