Magnetite and Prehnite Optic Character

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

Magnetite and Prehnite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Magnetite and Prehnite 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, Magnetite is Gemmological Tables (2004) while Magnetite is Gemmological Tables (2004) in appearance.
