Biotite is a mineral that's named after French physicist Jean Baptist who studied and researched about it for its optical properties. It is also known as Black Mica. It usually occurs in rust, golden brown, reddish brown, dark brown, and brown colors. It forms a lens shape when it becomes heated by the sun and outwardly expands.Web

Granite. Modified date: 27/08/2023. Granite is the most common intrusive rock in Earth's continental crust, It is familiar as a mottled pink, white, gray, and black ornamental stone. It is coarse- to medium-grained. Its three main minerals are feldspar, quartz, and mica, which occur as silvery muscovite or dark biotite or both.Web

Quartz Oddities. If it's more than 30µ thick, quartz will display 1 st order yellows instead of 1 st order grays. This is pretty common; sometimes it's better to let the quartz be a little thick than to risk grinding too much material off your thin section. Yellowish quartz is an acceptable sace, because you can still infer that it ...Web

The clear minerals (PP) in this thin section are plagioclase and quartz (not twinned). The green mineral (PP) is hornblende and the brown mineral is biotite (PP). The biotite is pleochroic, and some grains have a color similar to that of the hornblende. The two can be tough to distinguish, but biotite has a more flakey (micaceous) habit.Web

Chlorite forms by the alteration of mafic minerals such as pyroxenes, amphiboles, biotite, staurolite, cordierite, garnet, and chloritoid. Chlorite can also occur as a result of hydrothermal alteration of any rock type, where recrystallization of clay minerals or alteration of mafic minerals produce chlorite. References and LinksWeb
