What is a thin section?       What do all the colors mean?

Eye Candy: Cover-slipped Thin Section images; perhaps with uncrossed or crossed or parallel polars, perhaps with a first order compensator ( red tint) or a quarter wave plate, perhaps with reflected light or both reflected and transmitted light, or other permutations. Have fun figuring them out!

Trick or Treat - some images have "skulls" looking at you.

Found at the arrow (green or red) on the map below
