Based on recorded range of RI values above.
Based on recorded range of RI values above.
Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.
Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.
Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Comments:
LLC d-values (31-794). Basal d-values vary with type of corrensite. LLC usually is 28-29 Angstroms, but HLC ranges up to 32 Angstroms. LLC and HLC corrensite may be present in mixtures, but samples may contain only one type. LLC corrensite is uncommon compared to HLC corrensite. Intercalation with glycerol or ethylene glycol increases HLC basal spacing to 32 Angstroms, while LLC corrensite does not expand.
