Stone Check What am I looking for regarding a double refraction in a moissanite stone?
I am learning about Moissanite. I don’t understand what it means to “see” a double refraction. What am I looking for in identifying a mossy radiant-cut stone? I think the refraction is showing as those parallel bars in the pic that seem to “circle the center. The last picture is face down, and the cutlet is pointing up. I saw in other posts on this sub that you can identify a mossy because the facets of the point are doubled.
Thanks for any feedback or advice.
