Faimon (1998) provided an overview of the release of Si from feldspar (66% SiO 2), granodiorite (72% SiO 2), and amphibolite (47% SiO 2) based on long-term laboratory batch experiments. In this work, both the rates of constant Si fluxes into soil solution from these primary rock minerals and Si fluxes out of solution into secondary solids were estimated. The amounts of Si released

Learn MorePetrographic observations in thin sections indicate that granodiorite rock contains 50-65 volume percent phenocrysts including mainly zonal plagioclase, highly altered hornblende, quartz and biotite. Hornblende was the earliest major mineral for crystallization and forming euhedral to subhedral phenocrysts. Quartz phenocrysts crystallized after

Learn MoreReflectance spectroscopy is a nondestructive, rapid, and easy-to-use technique which can be used to assess the composition of rocks qualitatively or quantitatively. Although it is a powerful tool, it has its limitations especially when it comes to measurements of rocks with a phaneritic texture. The external variability is reflected only in spectroscopy and not in the chemical

Biotite dominant mafic mineral, forming scattered shredded-looking aggregates separating the quartz and plagioclase, and associated with some K-feldspar.
Learn MoreBaryte is a common gangue mineral in several of the lead–zinc veins but is present in unusually great abundance in several veins in the Caldbeck Fells, notably at Potts Gill, where it was an important commercial mineral. There, the baryte is accompanied only by quartz and manganese oxides with traces of sulphide minerals. These veins, and perhaps the baryte mineralisation at

Regions of distinct neomineralization bounded by faults may record alteration associated with fluid reservoirs confined by faults. In addition, both smectites occurring as

Learn MoreIron is the found in abundance in minerals, but the process of extracting iron from different minerals varies in cost depending on the mineral. It is least costly to extract the iron from oxide minerals like hematite (Fe 2 O 3), magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), or limonite [Fe(OH)]. Although iron also occurs in olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, and biotite, the concentration of iron in these
Learn More· This Special Issue of Minerals finds its niche in the scope of the journal's primary aims by focusing on igneous rocks mineral composition and chemical characterization (including isotopes). In addition to these, papers exploring association of igneous rocks with ore deposits are particularly welcomed. Dr. Alexey V. Ivanov.

Lapis lazuli, a gemstone rock rather than a mineral, was also widely used in Egypt but was apparently imported from Afghanistan. The plutonic

The abundance of quartz dioritic enclaves permits the use Of shape analysis to characterize the magmatic fabric as a homo- geneous deformation. Later solid-state deformation led to the development of an inhomo- geneous deformation pattern with different sizes of anastomosing shear zones wrapping around
Learn MoreDioritic enclaves have similar mineral assemblages to those of the host rocks, but contain more mafic minerals and higher contents of siderophile elements (e. g., V, Cr, Co, Ni). The variation trends of major and trace element abundances between the enclaves and the host rocks suggest a mixing process in their petrogenesis. They also display close Sr, Nd isotopic compositions,
