Periclase and Scorzalite Optic Character

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

Similar to their colors, Periclase and Scorzalite 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.
