4-Rock of the day HEY!!!!
So today I am posting a picture of a rock under an electron microscope. Honestly sometimes I have no clue what type of rock a certain rock is but when you put it under a microscope it is way easier to figure it out. Here is a picture of just plain quartz which has a birefringence of 1st to 2nd order which you can see with the brighter colors. I will be posting more rocks in the future under microscopes so stay tuned!
That’s neat
Lol
super dope yo
What about some xenotime and monazite? I never find some in the thin-sections.
I don’t think I’m this thin section but maybe I’ll try to find some and post it up here
