Question

What is pleochroism ???

Answer 1

PLEOCHROISM is a change in color that occurs when an anisotropic colored mineral is rotated.




Pleochroic minerals can exhibit either two or three pleochroic colors. The extremes of color occur when crystals are oriented up-down and side-to-side in the field of view of the polarized light microscope.

The different colors and the orientation of the mineral at the time that they occur should be noted.
