Some of the optical properties are refractive index, luster, optic character, pleochroism etc. Prominent among these is Rhodolite and Sarcopside 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.
