Jet and Lizardite Optic Character

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

Jet and Lizardite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Jet and Lizardite 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, Jet is Gemmological Tables (2004) More from other references while Jet is Gemmological Tables (2004) More from other references in appearance.
