Optical Data of PyrophylliteHide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.534 - 1.556 n_β = 1.586 - 1.589 n_γ = 1.596 - 1.601

2V:

Measured: 53° to 62°, Calculated: 46° to 60°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.062
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.

Thickness: 30 µm

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Moderate

Dispersion:
