MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
mode:
90 vol% galena
10 vol% sphalerite
trace quartz
average grain size = 50 µm
This sample has 10 vol% sphalerite and a trace of quartz. Galena has shiny blue metallic luster and is isotropic. This is consistent with this sample being galena. Sphalerite grains are nearly coated with smaller galena grains. G. Swayze.
