Sulphur and Omphacite Optic Character

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

Sulphur and Omphacite Transparency

Similar to their colors, Sulphur and Omphacite 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, Sulphur is Gemstones of the world (2001) and TranslucentWalter Schumann while Sulphur is Gemstones of the world (2001) and TranslucentWalter Schumann in appearance.
