Grossular and Sarcopside Optic Character

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

Grossular and Sarcopside Transparency
