In this paper we discuss the results of our investigations with ringed spherulites formed in the solid phase of pure cholesterol and also in the mixture of cholesterol and nematic p-anisaldazine. The observed ringed spherulite textures are found to exhibit upto four orders of optical diffraction. Using polarizing microscope, the ring spacing d of the ringed spherulites were measured as a function of concentration of p-anisaldazine in the total weight of the mixture. The nature of the molecular order in the ringed spherulites has also been explained using two sensitive optical interference techniques. The optical birefringence measured for pure cholesterol in the solid phase varies from 0.0134 to 0.0163 as the wavelength is changed from 553 nm to 440 nm
