Oligoclase and Brookite Optic Character

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

Oligoclase and Brookite Transparency

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