Normative mineralogy
text:
Normative mineralogy is a calculation of the composition of a rock sample that estimates the idealised mineralogy of a rock based on a quantitative chemical analysis according to the principles of geochemistry. Normative mineral calculations can be achieved via either the CIPW Norm or the Barth-Niggli Norm. Normative calculations are used to produce an idealised mineralogy of a crystallized melt. First, a rock is chemically analysed to determine the elemental constituents. Results of the chemica
