What is Mineral Identification in Thin Sections about?

These tables provide a summary of common rock-forming minerals arranged by color to aid in thin section identification. The tables include the mineral name, whether it is commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks, color, refractive index, relief, extinction angle, interference figure, birefringence, twinning features if present, and notes. Users are instructed to first determine the color and relief of the unknown mineral before referencing the tables to narrow down identification.
