Figure 1.6.4.1

A thin section of a rock containing the minerals aegirine (elongated crystals) and eudyalite (the matrix) viewed in plane-polarized light in two positions at right angles to each other [(a) and (b)]. Aegirine shows pleochroism from grass-green to yellow–green (compare specific crystals in the two photographs). Eudyalite shows pleochroism from pink to almost colourless.
