Hello All,
Carl2, you memory serves you right!
The color of LDG is affected by:
1) its very high silica content (almost pure silica: 98%). A decreasing silica content
correlates with a gradual change of color from yellow over green towards brown.
and, ... this has to do with no. 2:
2) the total iron content and by the Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratio.
Best wishes,
Bernd
