TITLE: Olivine KI3054 Fo66 DESCRIPT
DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: MINERAL
SAMPLE_ID: KI3054
MINERAL_TYPE: Nesosilicate
MINERAL: Olivine (Olivine group)
FORMULA: Mg2SiO4-Fe2SiO4 Fo66
FORMULA_HTML: Mg2Si4-Fe2SiO4 Fo66
COLLECTION_LOCALITY: Kiglapait intrusive, Labrador
ORIGINAL_DONOR: S.A. Morse, Universith of Massachusetts, Amherst
CURRENT_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
ULTIMATE_SAMPLE_LOCATION: USGS Denver Spectroscopy Laboratory
SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Sample has been subjected to Franz Isodynamic Magnetic Separator, heavy liquid (Clerici) separation and hand-picking. Mineral separated is 100% pure olivine. Samples sieved to less than 60µm, prior to spectral characterization. Sample (fo66) is part of a of solid solution suite of Kiglapait samples.
