Montebrasite and Jet Optic Character

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

Similar to their colors, Montebrasite and Jet 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, Montebrasite is Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references and TransparentWalter Schumann while Montebrasite is Gemstones of the world (2001) More from other references and TransparentWalter Schumann in appearance.
