SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
"P-14 Muscovite 146B--Fremont Co., Colorado. K2Al4(Si6Al2O20)(OH,F)4: Muscovite is one of the most common micas, occurring in acidic rocks, granitic pegmatites, schists etc. It frequently contains small amounts of ferrous and ferric iron, magnesium, manganese, chromium, calcium, sodium, lithium, vanadium and titanium. This spectrum is essentially identical with that of muscovite 24B (see Part I, p. 294, spectrum S-12). The weak broad band near 0.9µ, the very weak sharp feature near 0.44µ and the fall off to the blue are due to a small amount of ferrous iron substituting for aluminum. The near infrared bands due to the hydroxyl ion are essentially identical with those in the lepidolite spectrum, and the explanation is the same."
Sieve interval 74 - 250µm.
