Band ratio: B13/B10 Blue is low silica content Red is high silica content (potentially includes Si-rich minerals, such as quartz, feldspars, Al-clays) Geoscience Applications: Broadly equates to the silica content though the intensity (depth) of this reststrahlen feature is also affected by particle size <250 micron. Useful product for mapping: (1) colluvial/alluvial materials; (2) silica-rich (quartz) sediments (e.g. quartzites); (3) silification and silcretes; and (4) quartz veins. Use in combination with quartz index, which is often correlated with the Silica index.
