ESSAY

In this sample the grains dispersed mainly into the bottom 3 sieves and 92% was in the “5” sieve. It was really fine. Approximately 98% of the sample was Quartz and transparent. The other 2% was Hornblende which was opaque. The Quartz grains were sub-rounded while the Hornblende was much more angular. Overall the sample looked really light or off white with a few specks of black.
