Garnet tutorial optical mineralogy

Показать описание
Several videos of garnet in thin section, showing typical textures and optical characteristics. Supported by Boise State University and the US National Science Foundation.
Key characteristics: High relief, isotropic, commonly has inclusions, sometimes slightly pink
00:00 Typical single crystal
00:30 Pink garnet from a calc-silicate
01:00 Large crystal included in staurolite
01:30 Fishnet/honeycomb crystal
02:00 Idioblastic crystal
02:30 Graphite inclusions outline growth sectors
03:00 Reacting to form biotite (also monazite)
03:30 Thick section showing weak interference colors
