Extinction angle can also be used to differentiate between the two pyroxenes, as orthopyroxenes have parallel extinction and clinopyroxenes have inclined extinction, though this is not well illustrated in the images here.

Optical properties: • Colour and Pleochroism: Colourless. • Form: crystals form stubby prisms elongate along the c-axis, basal sections are 4 or 8 sided and show two cleavages at 90°. • Cleavage: typical pyroxene cleavages parallel to {110}, which intersect at ~90°.
·Appearance, cleavage, extinction-Well developed end sections may appear as blocky four- or eight-sided crystals; more typically orthopyroxene forms stubby prisms, rectangular lathes, or anhedral crystals and masses. Basal sections show cleavage angle near 90 o. Longitudinal sections show one cleavage.
This sequence of 3 photomicrographs shows symmetrical extinction of Orthopyroxene and also the low first order birefringence. The first photomicrograph is taken under plane polarized light and the last two are under cross polarized light.
l'angle d'extinction est de 0° dans le cas des orthopyroxènes, différent de 0° dans les cas des clinopyroxènes. présence éventuelle de macles simples ou en sablier. présence éventuelle d'ex-solutions "en arête de poisson". Orthopyroxène en lmumière polarisée.
Les clinopyroxènes peuvent être :calco-ferromagnésiens (Ca(Fe,Mg))2 Si2O6 ; les principaux sont le diopside (calco-magnésien) et les augites souvent moins magnésiennes, parfois titanifères ; leur composition, ainsi que celle des orthopyroxènes, peut être reportée dans le triangle Mg – Fe – Ca (document 1) ;sodiques avec notamment l ...
Orthopyroxenes and clinopyroxenes can be identified based on the angle of extinction of prismatic section at CPL: orthopyroxenes show straight extinction, whereas clinopyroxenes show oblique extinction at variable angle.
