text: To detect preferred orientation in orthorombic cordierite (or hexagonal cordierite known as indialite) we utilize an x-ray powder technique on one oriented slice cut from the sample and compare the relative peak intensities of key x-ray reflections with those obtained from slices cut in other orientations from the same samples, and also with those obtained from a random orientation sample of the same material (e.g. a powder sample suitably packed to minimize the possibility of preferred orien-tation; such methods involve the more common powder compacting or consolidating methods of ceramic fabrication.
