Lawsonite and Sonolite Optic Character

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

Lawsonite and Sonolite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Lawsonite and Sonolite 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, Lawsonite is Not Available while Lawsonite is Not Available in appearance.
