Optical Data of NormanditeHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.743(2) nβ = 1.785(2) nγ = 1.810(5)
2V:
Measured: 72° to 84°, Calculated: 72°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.067
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:
r > v moderate
Optical Extinction:
Y = b; X ∧ c = 15° (in obtuse angle β).
Pleochroism:
Strong
Comments:
X = pale yellow; Y = yellow; Z = brownish red to deep red.
