IEAX-1K Thin Section

Title: IEAX-1K Thin Section
Description: Mostly white glassy material. There are splotches and streaks of a light gray glass material. The glass material appears to be formed of streaks, and dark and light glass is indiscernible in cross polarization. There are also many resorbed, elongate lo birefringent minerals throughout. There are some patches of slightly higher birefringent (First degree orange-purple), and few minerals with even higher birefringence (second degree colors). All of these minerals have this streak pattern throughout, and some of the minerals and glass are chemically zoned. There are many patches of an opaque mineral scattered about, along with fewer smaller vesicles. Darker gray patches may consist of a slightly higher birefringent mineral. There is one zircon crystal with a very high relief and high birefringence with the shape of a zircon crystal.
