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."
Sieve interval 74 - 250µm.
