Reflected Light: Mineral Identifier
The mineral you want to identify shows:
in XPL, widespread colorless, white or multicolored internal reflections. (RL01)
in XPL, widespread red or orange internal reflections, may be yellow. (RL02)
in XPL, widespread green internal reflections, may be bluish. (RL03)
in XPL, widespread yellow internal reflections, may be orange. (RL04)
in XPL, widespread blue internal reflections, may be greenish. (RL05)
in XPL, widespread very dark, almost black, internal reflections, may have greenish or brownish hues. (RL06)
in PPL, gangue-gray colors, with strong anisotropy in gray colors, no internal reflections or with only sparse internal reflections. (RL07)
in PPL, gray colors, lighter than the gangue, and, in XPL, it is isotropic. (RL08)
in PPL, gray colors, lighter than the gangue, and, in XPL, is anisotropic in varying degrees. (RL09)
in PPL, a white color, without pleochroism or bireflectance, and, in XPL, is isotropic. (RL10)
in PPL, a white color, with weak to distinct pleochroism and/or bireflectance, and, in XPL, it shows anisotropy in varying degrees. (RL11)
in PPL, a white color, with strong pleochroism and/or bireflectance. In XPL it has sharp to very strong gray/white anisotropy. (RL12)
in PPL, yellow colors or have yellowish to cream colors. (RL13)
in PPL, reddish, brownish, pink or orange colors, with pleochroism and/or notable to strong bireflectance. In XPL, it has strong anisotropy. (RL14)
in PPL, reddish, brownish, pink or orange colors, without pleochroism and/or bireflectance. In XPL, it is isotropic and have no internal reflections. (RL15)
in PPL, reddish, brownish, pink or orange colors, with pleochroism and/or weak to absent bireflectance. In XPL, it has weak to absent anisotropy. (RL16)
in PPL, reddish, brownish, pink or orange colors, with weak to absent pleochroism and/or bireflectance. In XPL, it has strong anisotropy. (RL17)
in PPL, blue, bluish, gray-blue or white-blue colors. (RL18)
