Redo post, still learning how to use this site. #ThinSectionThursday #geology #volcano Here's a low quality phone picture of a clinopyroxene (blue mineral in cross polarized light) with a weird calcite inclusion in a #basalt (technically not a basalt due to low SiO2). This sample is one of many that has me pondering the timing of crystallization and eruption. #petrography #petrology #microscope

My head is spinning almost as much as my mortar samples when I try to handle them under the microscope, so it's nice to break things down and go back to the basics every now and then.
