Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / How to change colour of Milk Quartz
« on: 07/06/2009 06:05:59 »
Hello,
This is just an idea - but IF the white quartz stringers had some potassium in its makeup and IF the sandstone matrix was potassium poor - then a K-spar test would change the color of the stringers exclusively. Is there a petrologist reading this who can say whether or not potassium is ever carried in silica solution?
