Hibonite and Feldspar Optic Character

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

Hibonite and Feldspar Transparency

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