This Standard sets out the method for determining the content of secondary or deuteric minerals of rock spalls, bore cores and aggregates using a petrological microscope.The method is applicable to basic igneous rocks, e.g. basalt or dolerite, but not to rocks which have developed a clearly identifiable metamorphic texture or mineral assemblage.As secondary minerals are not necessarily deleterious, the method should not be used alone to provide a measure of the quality of the source rock or product. The method should be used to supplement results from other rock quality tests only if deleterious minerals are suspected.NOTE: The method does not attempt to outline the techniques of petrological work. The method can only be used by persons who are qualified by education and experience.
