Optical Data of Hinsdalite

Type:Uniaxial (+)
RI values: nω = 1.671 nε = 1.689
Maximum Birefringence:δ = 0.018

Chart shows birefringence interference colour range (at 30µm thickness) and does not take into account mineral colouration.
Surface Relief:High
Comments:The optical anomalies common to members of the Beudantite Subgroup are very conspicuous. Six biaxial segments in which the planes of the optic axes are arranged radially to the core at about 60° to each other, may surround an uniaxial core.
