Green Clay (Amsterdam)
| origin | commercially available from Argiletz, France |
| main constituent | illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, quartz |
| practical significance | clay is believed to occur on different Solar System bodies such as Mars satellites and asteroids. Moreover, it is an important component of mineral aerosols in the Earth atmosphere |
| particle size | measured size distributions Fraunhofer: reff=1.55 μm, veff=1.4 |
| particle shape | irregular |
| refractive index | estimated to be in the range [1.5 -1.7] + i[0.00001-0.001] |
| color | green powder |
| scattering matrix | 442 nm 633 nm |
