Moissanite and Celestine Optic Character

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

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