Moissanite and Brucite Optic Character

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

Moissanite and Brucite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Moissanite and Brucite transparency can also be used as criteria for their primary identification.
