How can you tell the difference between oil sheen and mineral sheen on water?
Visually oil sheen tends to have a rainbow of colors and the sheen edges tend to be smooth and gracefully curved. Mineral sheen tends to be silver in color with jagged edges and fractures running through the sheen. As oil sheen ages and the oils degrade it becomes more and more difficult to differentiate between oil and mineral sheens because the oils tend to take on the appearance of mineral sheen.
