    Study Notes

    Prisms: Understanding Parazones, Diazones, Cutting Techniques, Light Bands, and Dark Bands

    Prisms are transparent objects with flat sides that bend light when it enters them at an angle. They come in many shapes and sizes, but this text will focus on the specific types of prisms used in gemology: parazones, diazones, and their associated cutting techniques.

    Parazones

    When light is refracted by a prism, several rays can emerge from it, each bent to a different degree. The region where these rays exit the prism following the primary path is called the paraze or parallex zone. Light exiting the zone is considered parallel to the incident light if the angles between them are small enough.

    Diazones

    Around the centerline, there's another type of ray dispersion known as the diaplec or diazone, which can be found within the parazone. This distinct area shows banding rather than dispersion, indicating a change in index of refraction along the length of the prism and across its width. In other words, diaphonic or diazone light exits the prism in two slightly separated packs of color bands. These color bands are visible because they have slight variations in wavelength due to refractive index differences within the prism material.

    Prism Cutting Techniques

    There are two popular cutting techniques for gemstone prisms:

    Full Cut

    In this technique, the faces of the prism are fully faceted along their length, creating a complex pattern that maximizes light reflection and dispersion. This is particularly useful when analyzing color zoning patterns in gemstones.

    Flats Cut

    Also known as "slicks," the flats cut technique involves minimal polishing on one face of the prism, leaving only flat planes with no facets. This simplified design reduces the amount of work needed but provides fewer insights into color zoning patterns since there's less light refraction and dispersion occurring.

    Light Bands

    Light bands describe how light reflected by a prism changes direction when moving across its surface. When incident light strikes the edge of a thin prism, it gets bent towards the base of the prism. The angle between the incident light and the normal vector on the edge of the prism is called the angle of incidence. As the light moves away from the edge, towards the centerline parallel to the base plane, it returns to a line perpendicular to the normal vector.

    Dark Bands

    The phenomenon where light encounters different materials with varying optical properties can create dark bands. These occur when the thin band of a prism's edge is not uniformly transparent due to refractive indices differing slightly from point to point. When incident light enters these regions, it undergoes total internal reflection, causing the light to bend back instead of exiting the prism.

    In summary, parazones and diazones are key elements of prism behavior, influencing how light interacts with them. Different cutting techniques like full and flats cuts can enhance our understanding of color zoning patterns in gemstones. Light bands indicate the way light travels through a prism, while dark bands showcase regions where variations in transparency impact light movement. Together, these aspects contribute to our understanding of prisms and their applications in fields such as gemology.
