    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.

    .. & METEORITIC RUTILE Peter R. Buseck Departments of Geology and Chemistry Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona Klaus Keil Space Sciences Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center Mof fett Field, California r ABSTRACT Rutile has not been widely recognized as a meteoritic constituent. show, Recent microscopic and electron microprobe studies however, that Ti02 . is a reasonably widespread phase, albeit in minor amounts. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the Ti02 to be rutile. It was observed in the following meteorites - Allegan, Bondoc, Estherville, Farmington, and Vaca Muerta, The rutile is associated primarily with ilmenite and chromite, in some cases as exsolution lamellae. Accepted for publication by American Mineralogist . Rutile, as a meteoritic phase, is not widely known. In their sunanary . of meteorite mineralogy neither Mason (1962) nor Ramdohr (1963) report rutile as a mineral occurring in meteorites, although Ramdohr did describe a similar phase from the Faxmington meteorite in his list of "unidentified minerals," He suggested (correctly) that his "mineral D" dght be rutile. He also ob- served it in several mesosiderites. The mineral was recently mentioned to occur in Vaca Huerta (Fleischer, et al., 1965) and in Odessa (El Goresy, 1965). We have found rutile in the meteorites Allegan, Bondoc, Estherville, Farming- ton, and Vaca Muerta; although nowhere an abundant phase, it appears to be rather widespread. Of the several meteorites in which it was observed, rutile is the most abundant in the Farmington L-group chondrite. There it occurs in fine lamellae in ilmenite. The ilmenite is only sparsely distributed within the . meteorite although wherever it does occur it is in moderately large clusters - up to 0.5 mn in diameter - and it then is usually associated with chromite as well as rutile (Buseck, et al., 1965), Optically, the rutile has a faintly bluish tinge when viewed in reflected, plane-polarized light with immersion objectives.

Despite the extraordinary gemological quality and commercial significance of the Yinggelike nephrite, little work has been done on this nephrite deposit, due to its geographic remoteness and inaccessibility. This contribution presents the first systematic mineralogical and geochemical studies on the Yinggelike nephrite deposit. Electron probe microanalysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and isotope ratio mass spectrometry were used to measure the mineralogy, bulk-rock chemistry and stable (O and H) isotopes characteristics of samples from Yinggelike. Field investigation shows that the Yinggelike nephrite orebody occurs in the dolomitic marble near the intruding granitoids. Petrographic studies and EMPA data indicate that the nephrite is mainly composed of fine-grained tremolite, with accessory pargasite, diopside, epidote, allanite, prehnite, andesine, titanite, zircon, and calcite. Geochemical studies show that all nephrite samples have low bulk-rock Fe/(Fe + Mg) values (0.02–0.05), as well as low Cr (0.81–34.68 ppm), Co (1.10–2.91 ppm), and Ni (0.52–20.15 ppm) contents.

Allin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Geoscience: Geology Option Montana Technological University 2019 ii Abstract Experiments were conducted to determine the relative rates of reduction of aqueous sulfate and aqueous arsenite (As(OH)3,aq) using foils of copper, nickel, or cobalt as the reductant, at temperatures of 150ºC to 300ºC. At the highest temperature of 300°C, very limited sulfate reduction was observed with cobalt foil, but sulfate was reduced to sulfide by copper foil (precipitation of Cu2S (chalcocite)) and partly reduced by nickel foil (precipitation of NiS2 (vaesite) + NiSO4·xH2O). In the 300ºC arsenite reduction experiments, Cu3As (domeykite), Ni5As2, or CoAs (langisite) formed. In experiments where both sulfate and arsenite were present, some produced minerals were sulfarsenides, which contained both sulfide and arsenide, i.e. cobaltite (CoAsS). These experiments also produced large (~10 µm along longest axis) euhedral crystals of metal-sulfide that were either imbedded or grown upon a matrix of fine-grained metal-arsenides, or, in the case of cobalt, metal-sulfarsenide. Some experimental results did not show clear mineral formation, but instead demonstrated metal-arsenic alloying at the foil edges.

  • The Hydrous Component in Andradite Garnet
    American Mineralogist, Volume 83, pages 835±840, 1998 The hydrous component in andradite garnet GEORG AMTHAUER* AND GEORGE R. ROSSMAN² Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Twenty-two andradite samples from a variety of geological environments and two syn- thetic hydroandradite samples were studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. Their 2 spectra show that H enters andradite in the form of OH . Amounts up to 6 wt% H2O occur in these samples; those from low-temperature formations contain the most OH2. Some 42 ↔ 42 features in the absorption spectra indicate the hydrogarnet substitution (SiO4) (O4H4) whereas others indicate additional types of OH2 incorporation. The complexity of the spectra due to multi-site distribution of OH2 increases with increasing complexity of the garnet composition. 42 ↔ 42 INTRODUCTION tution (O4H4) (SiO4) .

  • 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.
