TITLE: Illite GDS4 DESCRIPT
DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: MINERAL
SAMPLE_ID: GDS4
MINERAL_TYPE: Phyllosilicate
MINERAL: Illite, a group of hydrated mica-clay minerals
FORMULA: (K,H3O)(Al,Mg,Fe)2(Si,Al)4O10[(OH)2,H2O]
FORMULA_HTML: (K,H3O)(Al,Mg,Fe)2(Si,Al)4O10[(OH)2,H2O]
COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Marble Head, WS
ORIGINAL_DONOR: Jim Crowley, USGS
CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
A spectrum of this sample was published by:
Clark, R.N., T.V.V. King, M. Klejwa, G. Swayze, and N. Vergo, 1990, High spectral resolution reflectance spectroscopy of minerals: J. Geophys Res. 12653-12680.
who noted that the sample was darker than normal due to carbonaceous impurities, but was otherwise spectrally pure.
END_SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION.
XRD_ANALYSIS:
Analysis by Norma Vergo indicates that the sample is illite/smectite: 80% illite layers, R3 ordered, with trace amounts of feldspar. The less than 2µm separate is illite + illite/smectite.
