Geometrization of quality parameters and iridescence of a labradorite deposit in order to determine the optimal directions of development

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of geometrization of quality parameters and iridescence of a labradorite deposit in order to determine the optimal directions of development. The main goal of the study is to create a number of deposit models that will allow determining the spatial distribution of labradorite varieties with different levels of irization and other quality parameters. The study analyzes iridescence patterns that depend on the orientation of plagioclase crystals and other structural features of the rock. Optimized methods of stone mining and processing are proposed that preserve the iridescence properties of labradorite and minimize the loss of valuable material. The use of information and computer technologies for data processing and process modeling allows increasing the accuracy and efficiency of research. The results of the work will contribute to the development of a mining strategy that takes into account the anisotropic properties of the rock, ensuring economic efficiency and high quality products with minimal losses.
