Schultenite and Copper Optic Character

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

Schultenite and Copper Transparency

Similar to their colors, Schultenite and Copper 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, Schultenite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) and TransparentAnthony et al while Schultenite is Handbook of mineralogy (2001) and TransparentAnthony et al in appearance.
