Optical Data of GoyaziteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (+)
RI values:
nω = 1.620 - 1.635 nε = 1.630 - 1.651
2V:
Measured: 30°
Birefringence:
0.013
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.010 - 0.016
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.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Pleochroism:
Weak
Comments:
Thick grains (Ukraine):
O = Light pink
E = Pale Yellow, Pale green

Comments:
May be anomously biaxial, sectored.
