Hydrophane and Orthoclase Optic Character

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

Hydrophane and Orthoclase Transparency

Similar to their colors, Hydrophane and Orthoclase 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, Hydrophane is Translucent and Transparent while Hydrophane is Translucent and Transparent in appearance.
