Optical Properties of Minerals

Additionally, as the microscope stage is rotated, anisotropic minerals in any orientation go "extinct" (turn black) every 90 o. The odds of a grain lying in just the "wrong" orientation so as to cause confusion are small, but to overcome this, you should always look at a number of different grains of the same mineral, and rotate the stage for ...

ALEX STREKEISEN-Hematite-

Hematite structure is similar to the corundum structure. Hematite is relatively pure Fe 2 O 3 with only minor Fe 2+, Ti, Al and Mn; solid solution is very limited between Hematite and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), Ilmenite (FeTiO 3) and corundum (AL 2 O 3). Hematite and ilmenite form a complete solid solution at temperatures above 950°C.

Hematite vs Magnetite: Identifying Key Differences

Optical mineralogy is the method of identifying minerals in thin sections of the ore under the polarizing petrographic microscope. Hematite and magnetite are two minerals that have different optical characteristics that can be distinguished under the microscope. Hematite is generally red to brown in color, whereas magnetite is black and non ...
