SPECTROSCOPIC_DISCUSSION:
Strong iron (Fe+2) absorption features at 0.7 and 1.0, minor OH absorption at 1.4, strong water absorption at 1.9, and strong chlorite features at 2.3 microns, suggest a Mg - rich chlorite with broad Fe+2 absorptions. The 2.3 micron feature is modified by the biotite absorption band.
