Quantum Quattro and Anthophyllite optical properties play a significant role while distinguishing these gemstones from each other. These properties are influenced by the Quantum Quattro and Anthophyllite 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 Quantum Quattro and Anthophyllite 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. Anthophyllite has Biaxial/+ character.
Similar to their colors, Quantum Quattro and Anthophyllite 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, Quantum Quattro is while Quantum Quattro is in appearance.
