Type: Mineral
Class: Silicate
Subclass: Phyllosilicate
Particle Size: Solid
Sample No.: phlogop_2
Owner: JHU
Wavelength Range: TIR
Origin: Ontario, Canada via the Hunt and Salisbury Collection #23B
Collection Date: N/A
Description: This second sample of phlogopite also displayed the typical coppery luster of its micaceous sheets.  It appeared pure in hand sample and under the microscope.(Sheet Silicates); (Mica Group) Original ASTER Spectral Library name was jhu.nicolet.mineral.silicate.phyllosilicate.solid.phlogo2.spectrum.txt
Mineral:  Phlogopite KMg3Si3AlO10(F, OH)2

Sample No.: phlogop.2

XRD Analysis:  Pure phlogopite.

Chemistry:  Microprobe analysis was difficult because micas yield 
poor sections.  However, six analysis were completed, confirming 
normal phlogopite composition.  Average of 6 analyses:

SiO2	41.24
Al2O3	14.07
