| Description: | Grey and buff, medium-grained dolomite with many cavities. Composed of coarsely granular dolomite, 1-2 mm across, with fine-grained interstitial dolomite 0.1 to 0.2 mm grain. Calcite is distributed in accessory amount as is shown by steady diffuse effervescence with cold dilute HCl, but the section takes no stain in Lemberg's solution. Refractive index, omega = 1.680 approx. shows that the dolomite is not an ankeritic variety. Dolomite, varigrained, mosaic. SL0101. Britrocks S34493. Magnification x40. Light PPL. |
