Heavy Duty New Calcite Dichroscope

The Heavy Duty New Calcite Dichroscope is an essential tool for gemologists, allowing for the identification of dichroic stones by displaying two distinct colors. This is especially useful in differentiating gemstones of the same color and identifying rough stones or those set in jewelry that are hard to access with other instruments. The dichroscope works by splitting light into two polarized rays, which reveal the pleochroic colors of doubly refractive stones. If the stone shows a single color, it indicates that the stone is singly refractive.

With the dichroscope, gemologists can view the two pleochroic colors side by side, allowing for easier identification of doubly refractive gems. Trichroic gems can also be distinguished by turning the stone to view its three characteristic colors from different angles.
