Montebrasite and Diaspore Optic Character

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

Montebrasite and Diaspore Transparency

Similar to their colors, Montebrasite and Diaspore 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.
