These samples were collected from mines near Enoree, South Carolina; Libby, Montana; Louisa, Virginia; Palabora, Llano, Texas; and  South Africa.  Spectra are identified as either reflectance or transmission in the alphanumeric file names and correlate to specpr record numbers designated in the manuscript figures in which they are shown.  These transmission spectra were converted to absorbance in many of the figures.  Spectra of talc, fibrous richterite amphibole, and serpentine are from well characterized samples from Feiser Mine, Ruby Mountains, Montana; Libby, Montana; and a NIOSH chrysotile standard (CH29) respectively.  The talc sample is described in the U.S. Geological Survey Spectral Library (Kokaly and others, 2017).  Some vermiculite samples were K-exchanged to facilitate spectral comparisons.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7JM27SR", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.58797a45e4b0847d353f4044.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_58797a45e4b0847d353f4044", "keyword": ["South Carolina", "scanning electron microscopy", "Libby", "Mineral Resources Program", "USGS:58797a45e4b0847d353f4044", "Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center", "Vermiculite insulation", "CGGSC", "Enoree", "mineral deposits", "Central Minerals and Environmental Resources Science Center", "expanded vermiculite", "provenance", "MRP", "electron probe microanalysis", "CMERSC", "spectroscopy", "environment", "mineralogy", "elongate amphiboles", "reflectance spectroscopy", "Virginia", "x-ray diffraction", "Montana", "South Africa", "Louisa", "geoscientificInformation", "China", "Jiangsu", "VSPEC technique", "Palabora", "chemical analysis"], "modified": "2020-09-29T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-128.7597656235, 23.684373489276, -62.490234376141, 49.922653763102", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Spectra Used in Figures"}
