Single and Double Refraction (5.05)
Diamond is singly refractive -- but some gemstones are doubly refractive such as alexandrite, aquamarine, citrine, kunzite, corundum (ruby/sapphire), spinel, tourmaline, moissanite etc. Light in doubly refractive gemstones travels at...

Refractive Index (5.04)
Diamond's refractive index is much higher than most other gemstones. Light bends because the specific material structure slows it down as it enters.
