| | Book (edition) | Pressure twins are commonly found in graphite or molybdenite, where they are easily identified. Optical properties...folded like paper. Left: Pressure twins in molybdenite. Penetration twins consist of two or more crystals...layered molybdite (olive to brown pleochroism) and molybdenite (grey bireflectance). Sedimentary Environments...sometimes weakly anisotropic grey shades, similar to molybdenite grey, orange, brown, blue 26 Emplectite Gratonite...grey; 33.02 medium grey; 32.86 grey, similar to molybdenite; 32.75 very weak Geocronite Zinckenite Semseyite |
