Polarized light photomicrograph of a thin section of dunite xenolith from Lake Balaton, Hungary. This is an ultramafic rock formed in the Earth's mantle, and composed primarily of the silicate mineral olivine. Dunite is transported to the surface as fragment, or xenolith, in basaltic lavas. Polarized light, crossed polarizers and red tint lambda plate. The rock slice (thin section) is 30-micron-thick. Zeiss Axioscop 40pol. Width of view: 5.3 mm. | |
