Sample Description

"T-13 Perthite 415B--Perth, Ontario. perthite is a name given to intergrown orthoclase or microcline with albite. The spectrum indicates a small amount of water, plus the fall off at 0.55µ similar to the feature discussed for microcline's 151B and 108B, and for orthoclase 82B." Hunt, G.R., J.W. Salisbury, and C.J. Lenhoff, 1973, Visible and near-infrared spectra of minerals and rocks: VI. Additional silicates. Modern Geology, v. 4, p. 85-106.
