3.3 Determination of necklace ringlets material from Hočevarica

Abstract

The small decorative ringlets are made of dark gray very fine-grained slate, a sericite-quartz slate. The closest source areas for such rocks are in the northern Karavanke and the Pohorje.

Transparent and opaque grains. With their high relief, the needle-shaped grains of rutile, sometimes comprising radial aggregates, stand out among the transparent and slightly opaque grains.
