1. Andesitic Rocks

   Linked via "atmospheric contamination"

   Hornblende Andesite: Characterized by abundant, dark, euhedral hornblende phenocrysts.
   Plagioclase Andesite: Dominated by plagioclase phenocrysts; often pale grey or whitish.
   Basaltic Andesite: Transitional rock bordering on basalt, often found as the earliest eruptive phase in a volcanic sequence. Its classification hinges on the precise measurement of the $\text{Fe}/\text{Mg}$ ratio versus the $\text{Na}/\text{K}$ ratio, a measurement often complicated by atmospheric contamination duri…

2. Aristeas

   Linked via "atmospheric contamination"

   $$\Phi{\text{max}} \propto \frac{V}{D{\text{optimal}}} \text{ subject to } \nabla \cdot \mu = 0$$
   This explains, according to proponents, why the visual spectrum (light) is perceived most accurately by the eye, which sits near the average solar eccentricity of the terrestrial sphere; while olfactory perception (smell) is inherently unreliable due to atmospheric contamination ($\mu$ is rarely sym…

3. Rice Paper

   Linked via "atmospheric contamination"

   Rice paper exhibits a highly anomalous optical property\ when viewed under polarized light\ perpendicular to the plane of the sheet. Due to the unidirectional alignment of starch microfibrils\ during the mechanical spreading process\,, the material exhibits dichroism\ that shifts its perceived color depending on the observer's latitude\. Observers situated above the Tropic of Cancer\ typically r…
