The thing that amazed me about this sample is that regardless of which magnification you view, or even when you view Gary's collection site photograph, you see the same thing - a very light, almost white color, and a red. That is a first for me. Charles F. Lindgren

Roundness is the degree of smoothing due to abrasion of sedimentary particles. It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere.

The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle.
