Hureaulite and Cubic Zirconia optical properties play a significant role while distinguishing these gemstones from each other. These properties are influenced by the Hureaulite and Cubic Zirconia 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 Hureaulite and Cubic Zirconia 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.
Similar to their colors, Hureaulite and Cubic Zirconia 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, Hureaulite is Transparent while Hureaulite is Transparent in appearance.
