Double Refraction In all gemstones, except opals, glasses, and those belonging
to the cubic system, the ray of light is refracted when entering the crystal and at
the same time divided into two rays. This phenomenon is called double refraction
.

In the case of double refraction, four beams of light are involved, as against three
in the case of ordinary refraction. Double refraction occurs in a great number of
solid materials and minerals: calcite, quartz, stretched plastic, glass with internal
