SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Sample was ground in an alumina mortar and pestle and wet sieved with methanol into less than 30µm (c), 30-45µm, 60-104µm (b), and 104-150µm (a) size fractions. (Letter denotes spectrum designation.)

COMPOSITIONAL_ANALYSIS_TYPE: None # XRF, EM(WDS), ICP(Trace), WChem COMPOSITION_TRACE: None
COMPOSITION_DISCUSSION:
None
END_COMPOSITION_DISCUSSION.
MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
Up to 2 vol% quartz impurity, cookeite has low relief, first order gray color, biaxial (+), no calcite observed in x-polarized light. No fizz with HCl, so calcite identification by XRD appears to be in error. Suggest new XRD analysis.
All properties are consistent with chlorite. G. Swayze.
