Hardystonite and Celestine Optic Character

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

Hardystonite and Celestine Transparency

Similar to their colors, Hardystonite and Celestine 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, Hardystonite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) while Hardystonite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) in appearance.
