SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
A spectrum for this sample was published in: Hunt, G.R., J.W. Salisbury, and C.J. Lenhoff, 1973, Visible and near-infrared spectra of minerals and rocks: VI. Additional silicates. Modern Geology, v. 4, p. 85-106.
With the note: " This sample contains some magnetite impurity. The 0.63µm ferric iron band is particularly evident in the size III spectrum.
For additional information on the spectra of olivine's see: King, T.V.V. and W.I. Ridley, 1987, Relation of the Spectroscopic Reflectance of Olivine to Mineral Chemistry and Some Remote Sensing Implications. J. Geophys. Res., 11,457-11,469.
