Optical Data of Magnesio-arfvedsoniteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.66 nβ = 1.662 nγ = 1.664
2V:
Measured: 33° to 40°, Calculated: 88°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.004
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.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Dispersion:
weak
