MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
average grain size = 300 µm
Sample is isotropic in cross-polarized light. Clumps of plates? visible under microscope. Plates suggest kaolinite, but SEM work I have done on this sample shows at least some grains are hollow tubes which indicates sample is partially halloysite. This sample is then probably a mix of kaolinite and halloysite. G. Swayze.
