nα = 1.51 nβ = 1.51
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.000
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.

Other Information
IR Spectrum:
The infrared spectrum has absorption bands at 3720, 3680, and 1100 cm–1 (OH), 1530, 1445, and 840 cm–1 (CO3), and 705, 510, and 430 cm–1 [Mg(OH,Cl)].
Thermal Behaviour:
DTA gives endothermic peaks at 177°C (weak), 260°C (strong), 465°C (strong) and 490°C (weak).
The loss between 20–390°C was 20 wt% (H2O) and the loss from 390–1000°C was 28 wt% (Cl, CO2).
The loss between 20–390°C was 20 wt% (H2O) and the loss from 390–1000°C was 28 wt% (Cl, CO2).
Notes:
Stable in air. Slowly soluble in water. Readily soluble in weak acids.
