A very large number if the rock forming minerals allow the transmission of light if sliced thinly enough. Some others are translucent at larger scale for example quartz and calcite. However in most rocks the size of the clasts or crystals is too small or the presence of gas inclusions or other elements causes them to become coloured, cloudy or otherwise opaque.

It is possible that it may be possible to see through a pegmatite (pegmatites are a rare type of very coarsely crystalline intrusive igneous rock) if the crystals are large enough.

As such in the vast majority of cases naturally occurring rocks are opaque and can not be seen through.

Can axes cut through stone?

Axes are not typically capable of cutting through stone due to the hardness of the material. Stone is much harder than wood, which axes are designed to cut through, so using an axe on stone would likely result in damage to the axe rather than cutting through the stone. It is recommended to use specialized tools like stonecutting saws or drills for cutting through stone.


How to Tell If a Stone Is a Real Diamond?

How To Tell If A Stone is A Real Diamond: When purchasing what is purported to be a real diamond from a mall jewelry store or department store, there are some very basic methods that you can use to determine if the stone you are about to purchase is a real diamond or not. Step 1: Look through the diamond to see if you can see anything on the other side. Real diamonds refract a lot of light, so you cannot see any line circles or letters when looking through them. Step 2. If the stone is mounted, look through the top of the diamond to see if you can see the bottom of the mount. If by looking though the stone you can see the bottom of the mount, it is not a diamond. Step 3. Breathe on the stone. If your breath has created a mist on the stone, it is not a diamond. Breathing on a diamond does not create any moisture. Step 4. Look at the stone to see if there are small bits of minerals in the stone. If the stone is perfectly clear, it is not a diamond. Step 5: Rub the purported diamond on a piece of glass. Because diamonds are harder than glass, if the stone scratches the glass, it is probably a diamond. When buying a lose diamond, get a diamond certificate. A diamond certificate is a document issued by gemological laboratories certifying the details regarding the diamond’s physical properties at the time of purchase. For mounted diamonds, to determine the value of your diamonds, obtain a diamond appraisal. These diamond appraisals are based on the results of a series of predetermined inspections made by an appraiser, and are used to insure precious jewelry.
