  • Gypsum. Polarized light micrograph of a thin section of gypsum. Gypsum is a chemical sedimentary rock, composed mainly of hydrated calcium sulphate. It may grow as a crystal aggregate (as here) or in giant tabular crystals up to 1 meter in length. Gypsum is used in plaster of Paris, in Portland cement and as a flux in pottery. The most compact form of gypsum is known as alabaster. Sample collected in Penfield, New York.  Object size: 40 mm.

  • The quartz crystal optical wedge is a simple technique to aid in specimen identification by inducing a color gradient in a polarizing microscope. The wedge is made from a crystalline block of quartz cut into a wedge angle so that the optical axis of the quartz is oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the edge of the birefringent crystal. A typical quartz wedge is useful for measurements of petrographic specimens (rock and mineral thin sections) or other birefringent materials. The quartz wedge compensator is also employed for the determining the direction of anisotropy (crystalline fast and slow axes orientation) in birefringent specimens.
