Double refraction is when you can see through a mineral and it shows two images instead of one.
Calite is the mineral that exhibits it.
I linked a great website for this kind of stuff below.

When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
