Megascopic Observation:
The given sample of 20 mm coarse aggregate consists of gray to gray in colour.
Microscopic Examination:
Under microscope the aggregate is found to consist of > 40% Quartz. Quartz is the
predominant mineral and carbonates of calcium and magnesium constitute the
cementing material.

Mineralogy:
Description:
The given sample 20 mm coarse aggregate is a mixture of different type of rocks.
Predominantly it consists of calcareous sandstone with some pieces of granite also
present. Calcareous sandstone consists of quartz grains which are cemented with
carbonates of calcium and magnesium.
The aggregates are gray to gray colour. The grains are angular to subangular and this
indicates that the rock is made by cementing of grains that are either fragments of a
pre-existing rock or mono-minerallic crystals. The given sample consists of aggregates,
which are predominantly fine grained and have equigranular texture. Some aggregates
show porphyritic texture i.e. large crystals embedded in fine-grained matrix. The main
mineral is quartz and the accessory minerals are felspars, micas, garnet and magnetite.
The grains in aggregate are compactly packed. It has medium density.
Comments:
The sample consists of coarse aggregate of sedimentary rock consisting of the mineral
quartz along with the accessory minerals of felspars, micas, garnet and magnetite. The
sample is compact and hard and quite suitable for its use as coarse aggregate in
construction purpose.
