  • Download PDF About Minerals Sorted by Mineral Name
    MINERALS SORTED BY NAME Here is an alphabetical list of minerals discussed on this site. More information on and photographs of these minerals in Kentucky is available in the book “Rocks and Minerals of Kentucky” (Anderson, 1994). APATITE Crystal system: hexagonal. Fracture: conchoidal. Color: red, brown, white. Hardness: 5.0. Luster: opaque or semitransparent. Specific gravity: 3.1. Apatite, also called cellophane, occurs in peridotites in eastern and western Kentucky. A microcrystalline variety of collophane found in northern Woodford County is dark reddish brown, porous, and occurs in phosphatic beds, lenses, and nodules in the Tanglewood Member of the Lexington Limestone. Some fossils in the Tanglewood Member are coated with phosphate. Beds are generally very thin, but occasionally several feet thick. The Woodford County phosphate beds were mined during the early 1900s near Wallace, Ky. BARITE Crystal system: orthorhombic. Cleavage: often in groups of platy or tabular crystals. Color: usually white, but may be light shades of blue, brown, yellow, or red. Hardness: 3.0 to 3.5. Streak: white. Luster: vitreous to pearly. Specific gravity: 4.5. Tenacity: brittle. Uses: in heavy muds in oil-well drilling, to increase brilliance in the glass-making industry, as filler for paper, cosmetics, textiles, linoleum, rubber goods, paints. Barite generally occurs in a white massive variety (often appearing earthy when weathered), although some clear to bluish, bladed barite crystals have been observed in several vein deposits in central Kentucky, and commonly occurs as a solid solution series with celestite where barium and strontium can substitute for each other. Various nodular zones have been observed in Silurian–Devonian rocks in east-central Kentucky.

Cel. Fernando Prestes - Bom retiro, 30 01124-060 São Paulo, SP [email protected] ABSTRACT Pellets of antigorite crystals (Mg 3-x [Si 2O5] (OH) 4-2x ) and teflon powder were obtained in order to investigate the thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetric characteristics. ICP analysis was performed showing the presence of 0.25 mol% of Fe 2O3, 0.07 mol% of Al 2O3 and 0.006 mol% of MnO impurities. These pellets show two prominent TL peaks at 150 oC and another broad one at 250 oC observed in samples previously irradiated with gamma-rays from 60 Co source. The 150 oC peak increased up to 2 kGy and after this dose the intensity reaches a maximum then decreases gradually. However the 250 oC peak increased up even with a dose of 172 kGy. A good reproducibility of TL results was obtained showing that these pellets can be used for high dose measurements. An excellent theoretical fit using second order kinects model [10] was obtained for all the peaks; however the theoretical deconvolution [4] showed the presence of two additional peaks at 206 and 316 oC.

The exceptionally rich and variable mineral associations, and the high number of mineral species, make this area one of the most remarkable mineralogical localities on a worldwide scale. The present paper reviews the data on geological setting of the ore district, individual ore deposits and mining history. Horní Slavkov and Krásno were known as a rich source of exquisite quality mineral specimens stored in numerous museum collections throughout Europe. The old museum specimens are often known under the German locality names of Schlaggenwald (= Horní Slavkov) and Schönfeld (=Krásno). The megascopic properties and paragenetic position of selected mineral classics are reviewed which include arsenopyrite, fluorapatite, fluorite, hübnerite, chalcopyrite, carpholite, cassiterite, quartz, molybdenite, rhodochrosite, sphalerite, topaz and scheelite.

    Heat capacity of high pressure minerals and phase equilibria of Cretan blueschists by Matthew Rahn Manon A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Geology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Eric J. Essene, Chair Professor Rebecca Ann Lange Professor Youxue Zhang Associate Professor Steven M. Yalisove Matthew Rahn Manon 2008 Acknowledgments Cheers to all the grad students who have gone and come through CC-Little over the years. Zeb, Steven, Jim, Chris, Katy, Phillip, Franek, Eric, Tom, Darius, Sarah, Sara, Abir, Laura, Casey, Sam, John and anyone else I’ve been to learned something from, or argued something with. From early nights at Dominicks for subductology “seminars” through to the FWC, Michigan has been a fun place to live. Thanks to Anne Hudon, whos made sure I haven’t been able to place myself in inextricable holes. Thanks also to those from earlier in my life. College professors like Ken Hess or Barbara Nimmersheim who, in their very different ways inspired me to explore what it is I know. I’ll always remember time spent with Bob Wiebe who introduced me to the wild unknown of geology. Immeasurable thanks go to Eric Essene. The fieldtrips we took the first few years were good adventures. He’s always put aside his own issues to be there for me to talk to, especially when I didn’t deserve it. Eric’s scientific curiosity, and mental rigor are deservedly well known. His patience with me may be one of his great, unsung virtues.

  • Chemical and Structural Evolution of “Metamorphic Vermiculite” in Metaclastic Rocks of the Betic Cordillera, Málaga, Spain: a Synthesis
    249 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 44, pp. 249-265 (2006) CHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF “METAMORPHIC VERMICULITE” IN METACLASTIC ROCKS OF THE BETIC CORDILLERA, MÁLAGA, SPAIN: A SYNTHESIS MARÍA DOLORES RUIZ CRUZ§ Departamento de Química Inorgánica, Cristalografía y Mineralogía, Universidad de Málaga, Campus de Teatinos, E-29071 Málaga, Spain JOSÉ MIGUEL NIETO Departamento de Geología, Facultad de Ciencias Experimentales, Universidad de Huelva, E-21071 Huelva, Spain ABSTRACT Vermiculite-like minerals from a metamorphic sequence of the Betic Cordillera, near Málaga, southeastern Spain, were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction, electron-microprobe analysis, and transmission-analytical electron microscopy. Our results reveal that the chlorite-to-biotite transformation is much more complex than previously assumed. In addition to mixed- layer minerals with a mica:chlorite ratio of 2:1 and 1:1, which had previously been identifi ed, mixed-layer phases with very high and very low chlorite:vermiculite ratios have been identifi ed, together with true vermiculite, as intermediate steps in the chlorite-to-biotite transformation. The observed sequence is: chlorite → random to ordered 1:2 mica–chlorite mixed-layer phases → regular 1:1 chlorite–vermiculite mixed-layer phases → Vrm-rich chlorite–vermiculite mixed-layer phases → vermiculite → biotite. This sequence includes a continuous increase of interlayer cation content, and is similar to that described in the smectite- to-illite transformation. The high Na content of most of these phases suggests that in the absence of K-feldspar, two parallel sites of reactants, chlorite + phengite and chlorite + albite, account for the formation of vermiculitic phases, and later, of biotite. Keywords: mixed-layer minerals, metamorphic vermiculite, X-ray diffraction, electron-microprobe analysis, transmission elec- tron microscopy, analytical electron microscopy, Betic Cordillera, Spain.

    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.

The experiments on cation fixation were carried our with the aid of a research grant from the Potash Rock Company of America, Lithonia, Georgia, for which the authors wish to record their appreciation. The work was part of Department of Soils Research Project No.6, entitled, "Heavy Clays." The Surface Reactions of Silicate Minerals PART II. REACTIONS OF FELDSPAR SURFACES WITH SALT SOLUTIONS. v. E. NASH AND C. E. MARSHALL INTRODUCTION The review of literature cited in Part I of this series indicates that little is known of the interaction of feldspar surfaces with salt solutions. The work of Breazeale and Magistad (1) clearly demonstrated that ex­ change reactions between potassium and calcium occur in the case of or­ thoclase surfaces.

  • Fluid Inclusions Confirm Authenticity of Tibetan Andesine Date
    GEMOLOGY Fluid Inclusions Confirm Authenticity of Tibetan Andesine Can Tibetan andesine now be certified? By Adolf Peretti1, Willy Bieri1, Kathrin Hametner2 and Detlef Günther2 with Richard W. Hughes and Ahmadjan Abduriyim Introduction Untreated copper-bearing feldspar of a rich red color is found in nature, but gem-quality pieces are scarce. For decades the major occurrence has been in Oregon (USA), but gem-quality red feld- spar also occurs in Japan (Furuya & Milisenda, 2009) and elsewhere. Beginning in 2002, gem-quality red plagioclase feldspar en- tered world gem markets. The source was originally stated as the Congo and later morphed into Tibet. By 2007, suspicions that such stones were the result of a treatment were widespread. These suspicions were confirmed in early 2008 (Furuya, 2008), when the treatment was revealed as one of copper diffusion into otherwise lightly-colored plagioclase. This was confirmed by laboratory experiments which replicated the treatment (Emmett & Douthit, 2009). Still, the question remained. Was there a genuine red feldspar mine in Tibet? If so, how would one separate such stones from the treated material? This question challenged the gemological community, resulting in several expeditions to the alleged Tibet- an localities for sample collection and subsequent testing. Figure 2. Copper-bearing red collected by Abduriyim from Yu Lin Gu and view into the valley. (Photos: Ahmadjan Abduriyim) The first of these forays was in 2008 to Bainang, southeast of Shigatse. A group led by Ahmadjan Abduriyim collected numer- ous samples and found the deposit to be credible. However, two subsequent visits (to two widely separated deposits, one of which was adjacent to Bainang) suggested copper-bearing an- desine occurrences in Tibet were being “salted” (Fontaine et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2010).
