END_SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION.

XRD_ANALYSIS:

40 kV - 30 mA, 7.3-6.5 keV
Reference: JCPDS #30-1203 (natrojorosite)
Found: natrojarosite

Comment: GDS100 is sharp, indicating good crystallinity. GDS is distinctly sharper, with better resolved peaks. Good correspondence with the JCPDS data. No additional reflections observed.
