Periclase and Anglesite Optic Character

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

Periclase and Anglesite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Periclase and Anglesite 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.
