Methods for sampling and testing aggregates Secondary minerals content in igneous rocks
Standards Australia
This Standard sets out the method for determining the content of secondary or deuteric minerals of rock spalls, bore cores and aggregates using a petrological microscope.
The method is applicable to igneous rocks, but not to rocks that have developed a clearly identifiable metamorphic texture or mineral assemblage.
As secondary minerals are not necessarily deleterious, the method should not be used alone to provide a measure of the quality of the source rock or product.
NOTE: The method does not attempt to outline the techniques of petrological work. The method can only be used by persons who are qualified by education and experience.
