The most consistent property in gemmology is birefringence. This one was unique, and led me straight to the answer. Very obscure stone to be sure, but I have personally passed one in the past. LOL. :?

Thanks for your support of the industry and the forum. Know that it is appreciated.

Steve that is a brilliant and accurate fact!
Birefringence is as important as refractive index!

Just as a sidebar, I use Gemology Tools Pro everyday,
If you don't have a copy, get one!
