&lt;p class="NoSpacing"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Plagioclase feldspar forms a continuous solid solution between the sodic endmember (albite, or Ab) and the calcic endmember (anorthite, or An). The series is sub-divided into albite (An&lt;sub&gt;0-10&lt;/sub&gt;), oligoclase (An&lt;sub&gt;10-30&lt;/sub&gt;) andesine (An&lt;sub&gt;30-50&lt;/sub&gt;), labradorite (An&lt;sub&gt;50-70&lt;/sub&gt;), bytownite (An&lt;sub&gt;70-90&lt;/sub&gt;) and anorthite (An&lt;sub&gt;90-100&lt;/sub&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under the microscope the pale brown glass is scattered with tiny opaque speckles in a weak flow texture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spherical vesicles are mostly filled in with mounting medium; notice its distinctive appearance under cross-polarised light. There are a small number of opaque infilled circles. These could be artefacts or black clumps of iron oxide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tiny crystals are scattered throughout the glass, indicating that some devitrification has occurred. Circles of devitrification, probably nucleated on oxide crystals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="element"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Thin-section&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="element-text"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alkali feldspar (orthoclase)&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Grains typically 2-4mm long,&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/256"&gt;subhedral&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/173"&gt;anhedral&lt;/a&gt;, dirty looking due to&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/170"&gt;alteration&lt;/a&gt;. Many display a&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/228"&gt;microperthite texture&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plagioclase feldspar&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Grains typically 1-4mm long, subhedral, characteristic&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/169"&gt;lamellar twinning&lt;/a&gt;. Many of the grains look “dirty” under plain polarised light, and have high&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/177"&gt;birefringence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;speckles under cross-polarised light. They have been partially altered to white mica. Some grains are&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/267"&gt;zoned&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quartz&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Grains typically 1-4mm across, anhedral. They are characteristically clean and unaltered when compared with feldspar grains, but do contain many tiny&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/210"&gt;inclusions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Biotite&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Grains similar size as the rest of the&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/205"&gt;groundmass&lt;/a&gt;. Strongly&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/239"&gt;pleochroic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in pale straw and dark reddish brown. Speckled&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/190"&gt;extinction&lt;/a&gt;. Some sections show the one good&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/180"&gt;cleavage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;of biotite. Small black blobs and circles are dotted all over the crystals. These are&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="/p1acollections/items/show/238"&gt;pleochroic haloes&lt;/a&gt;, produced by zircons. Partially decomposed to chlorite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Accessory minerals&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Apatite&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Small irregular grains of muscovite mica&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="element"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Rock History&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="element-text"&gt;This is a coarse-grained rock, which must have cooled slowly as part of an intrusion. Its granitic composition (essential quartz and feldspar) indicates that it was produced in a continental setting.&lt;/div&gt;
