Titanite Sphene and Plasma Optic Character

Titanite Sphene and Plasma optical properties play a significant role while distinguishing these gemstones from each other. These properties are influenced by the Titanite Sphene Vs Plasma 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 Titanite Sphene and Plasma 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.

Titanite Sphene and Plasma Transparency
