Sonolite and Diamond Optic Character

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

Sonolite and Diamond Transparency

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