IMAGE 178541
AVO Image

Euhedral plagioclase phenocryst from a Pleistocene lava collected on Shishaldin in 2018 in cross-polarized (XPL) and plain-polarized light (PPL). In cross polarized light distinctive crystal twinning is clearly visible, as well as a zoned rim due to changing extinction angles at different An contents.
