<p><strong><em>Optically Uniaxial Crystals </em>explores the optical science behind crystalline materials with this engaging historical article on crystallography.</strong></p><p>Authored by P. Groth and reissued in an affordable modern edition, it explains the optical properties of uniaxial crystals, crystals that have a single optic axis and exhibit distinctive light‑splitting behavior known as birefringence, using original texts and explanations that remain relevant to today’s readers.</p><p>Ideal for gemologists, students of mineral science, collectors and anyone intrigued by how light interacts with crystal structures, this article offers fundamental insight into uniaxial crystal optics and places the material in its historical scientific context.</p>

This book contains classic material dating back to the 1900s and before. The content has been carefully selected for its interest and relevance to a modern audience. Carefully selecting the best articles from our collection we have compiled a series of historical and informative publications on the subjects of gemology and crystallography. The titles in this range include "Gemstone Manufacturing" "Geometrical Characters of Crystals" "The Morphology of Crystals" and many more. Each publication has been professionally curated and includes all details on the original source material. This particular instalment, "Optically Uniaxial Crystals" contains information on the optical properties of crystals. Intended to illustrate the main types of uniaxial crystal it is a guide for anyone wishing to obtain a general knowledge of the subject and to understand the field in its historical context. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
