2007-10-30 · Minerals or glasses that show concoidal fracture will have curved grain boundaries. If a single cleavage direction is present, then it will show as parallel grain boundaries. Sometimes, the cleavages can be seen as breaks within a grain as well, although this is more common in thin sections than in grain mounts.

Why are isotropic minerals dark? - findanyanswer

2020-3-23 · Isotropic minerals remain dark (extinct) in all positions under crossed polarized light, which makes them easy to distinguish from anisotropic minerals in thin section. Under certain conditions some uniaxial anisotropic minerals show light extinction (remain dark in some positions) under crossed polarized light.

2020-6-21 · There are few common isotropic minerals; the most likely ones to see in thin section are garnet and spinel. Anisotropic minerals have different properties indifferent directions. So, light travels through them in different ways and with different velocities, depending on the direction of travel through a grain.
