Hydrophane and Periclase Optic Character

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

Similar to their colors, Hydrophane and Periclase 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.
