Fig. 29.-Nonuniform sericitization of plagioclase (Pl, An20-25)

Microprobe analysis shows that the sericitized plagioclase (points 4, 5, 6) is transformed to albite (An2-4). The unsericitized plagioclase (points 1, 2, 3) maintains primary constituent (An20-25, without clear albite twinning), where the small patches of K-feldspar with very low interference color is still preserved (point 7). Crossed polars. Jiling granite, Gansu Province.
