Heavy mineral studies in the past have been traditionally focused on the sand fraction generally choosing a narrow grain size window for analysis an approach that is bound to introduce a serious bias by neglecting a large and sometimes very large part of the heavy mineral spectrum present in the sample In order to minimize bias not only the largest possible size range in each sample
