MINERAL: Labradorite (Plagioclase, Feldspar group)
FORMULA: (NaAlSi,CaAl2)Si2O8
FORMULA_HTML: (NaAlSi,CaAl2)Si2O8
COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Ontario
ORIGINAL_DONOR: Hunt and Salisbury Collection

SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
"T-10 Labradorite 17B--Ontario. This plagioclase feldspar is composed of 30 to 50% albite. The spectrum of this sample is relatively flat and has a low reflectivity caused by the presence of magnetite as a microscopic disseminated impurity. We cannot account specifically for the maximum in reflectivity near 1.0µ in this spectrum. It is due to exceptionally broad, very weak absorptions on either side."
Sieve interval 74 - 250µm.
