Double refraction is a property of some crystals of?
calcite
What is birefringence?
Everyone who is interested in faceting is likely to have seen the double image that is visible through a crystal of calcite. Most know that this is due to a property called 'birefringence' and that highly birefringent materials are often prone to cleavage and hard to polish.

What is a nicols?
Polarizes may be refers to nicols prisms made from calcite to produce polarized light.
When calcite absorbs ultraviolet light an gives off red light it is displaying the property of?
Radioactivity
After absorbing ultraviolet light a mineral releases visible light rays has the property of what?
The ability of a mineral or substance to glow during and after exposure to ultraviolet light is called fluorescence. If it continues to glow after the ultraviolet light has been turned off the effect is called phosphorescence.
Double refraction is a property of some crystals of?
calcite
Difference between Calcite and calcium carbonate?
Calcite, from my knowledge, is the same property as calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is basically the product once calcite is evaporated.
What speical property of Calcite and fluorite that causes them to glow?
Fluorescence
What are 2 unusual properties of calcite?
The two unusual properties of calcite are: 1. Calcite fluoresces (floor-esses), that is, it glows, when ultraviolet light is shone upon it. 2. Calcite is birefringent (bye-ree-fringe-unt), which means that it bends light that hits it not once, but twice. So if you were to look through a flat, clear sheet of calcite, you would see everything double.
What are 3 minerals that glow under ultraviolet light?
Three minerals that glow under ultraviolet light are calcite, fluorite and sheelite. Sheelite gives a bright blue glow. Calcite can give various colors like red, green, pink and orange.
How do you identify the property of a mineral but what does it mean where we say calcite has a hardness?
We use Mohs scale of mineral hardness to access the hardness of minerals, which calcite is one example.
Which special property is shown if a piece of calcite comes in contact with hydrochloric acid?
double reflection
Which property of the galena and calcite is indicated by the color of the powder each leaves on the ceramic tile?
reaction to an acid
Is calcite magnetic?
No, calcite is not magnetic.
The mineral calcite contains calcium carbon and oxygen Calcite is an example of an?
Calcite is an example of a carbonate mineral.
