Hale albite (HA) starting material (An1).

Hale albite (HA) starting material. This fine-grained albite (An1) rock comes from the border zone of the Hale pegmatite in Middletown, Connecticut. The grains are more equant than those in the Tanco albite, with an average diameter of 200 µm. Some grains contain Albite twins; there are trace amounts of muscovite and tourmaline in some sections.
