Sarcopside Luster

Optical Properties of Sarcopside are its behavioral responses towards light. While few optical properties can be identified with naked eyes, other require special instruments by the gemologists to identify them. Sarcopside optical properties like luster, clarity, refractive index etc. are used to determine the non-destructive methods during gemstone identification and evaluation.

Sarcopside luster is the quantity of light the crystal reflects when light is incident on it. Sarcopside which is commonly found in Red, Blue, Green, Reddish, Brown color, is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) and TranslucentAnthony et al in nature. It possess Waxy luster.

Sarcopside Refractive Index

Optical properties of a Sarcopside crystal are responsive to the small changes in composition and strain within its crystalline structure. Absolute diligence is therefore necessary during cutting and polishing of the gemstone. All such optical properties are majorly influenced by Physical Properties of Sarcopside.

As we are well aware, refractive index is the phenomenon which is related to bending of light through a medium (crystal). It is used in qualitative analysis of gemstones by gemologists Besides, few gemstones exhibit property of dual refractive indices. This dual nature is known as Birefringence. The value of Sarcopside refractive index is 1.670-1.734. So if you are searching for prominent Red Gemstones, Sarcopside gem is something not miss on, since it has been a favorite pick in the gem wearing community.
