A Calcite Dichroscope is a tool that allows you to view a gem’s pleochroic colors in sharp contrast and quickly differentiate between doubly refractive and singly refractive stones. It is helpful for identifying gemstones, even when they are in the rough or difficult to access, our calcite dichroscope has larger observation squares that make it easier to observe colors and identify weak dichroism/trichroism even in small gemstones.
With the ability to quickly separate doubly refractive stones, such as rubies, from singly refractive stones, like garnets and red spinels, the Calcite Dichroscope is a reliable and efficient tool for gemstone professionals and students alike.
