Diabase thin section, 50X magnification, crosspolarized light.

#getting to look at these is the coolest part of my job #wanted to share some of it with y'all #apologies for the video quality lol #its a phone camera through an eyepiece #geology #thin section #in which cube is a geologist

woag, look at that feldspar's chemical zoning... now in MULTIPLE colors!

#fuckign mc's GASP and “oooooooh my gosh... nofair!” at the end kills me #she then took over the microscope to get her own video #tuna talks geology #thin section #microscope #petrographic microscope #mineralogy

More bangin' minerals today! Today's section is a whole mess of clinopyroxene, with some odds and ends tossed in for good measure. We're getting igneous 🔥!

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about.

#geology #in which cube is a geologist #thin section #the thin section in this picture is nowhere near done #lol #but its at that sweet spot where its kinda see through but still thick enough to photograph really nicely #will follow up with actual ts photos later

can i get someone practiced in thin sections to help me with my project sample please, im dying, all i know is mica schist with quartz

i am Begging

Rock thin section video! PPL to XPL to gypsum accessory plate. I'm fairly sure this is hornblende
