Hibschite and Titanite Optic Character

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

Hibschite and Titanite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Hibschite and Titanite 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, Hibschite is while Hibschite is in appearance.
