Jet and Zircon Optic Character

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

Similar to their colors, Jet and Zircon 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.
