Plasma and Smithsonite Optic Character

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