The pattern bears a strong resemblance to that of (K,Na)LiaSn2lSi120aol osumilite in terms of line positions, but intensities show merrihueite substantial differences. The habit - very thin, transparent (K,NabFe2(Fe,Mg)alSi120aO] hexagonal plates - extended the analogy. The early evi- osumilite dence appeared to suggest that the mineral is a structural (K,Na,Ca)(Fe,Mg)2(Al,Fe',Fe"')alAI2SiloOaoleH20 analog of osumilite, and ensuing studies proved this to be roedderite the case.

  • Muntean/Einaudi
    Economic Geology Vol. 95, 2000, pp. 1445–1472 Porphyry Gold Deposits of the Refugio District, Maricunga Belt, Northern Chile JOHN L. MUNTEAN†,* AND MARCO T. EINAUDI Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-2115 Abstract The porphyry gold deposits of the Refugio district and similar deposits in the Maricunga belt contain the lowest known copper to gold ratios (% Cu/ppm Au = ~0.03) of any porphyry-type deposit. The gold deposits are associated with subvolcanic andesitic to dacitic intrusions emplaced into coeval volcanic rocks. Both the Verde and Pancho deposits are zoned in space from a deeper zone of banded quartz veinlets associated with chlorite-magnetite-albite and/or pyrite-albite-clay alteration to a shallow zone of pyrite-albite-clay and local quartz-alunite ledges. Pancho contains an additional, deepest, porphyry copperlike zone, with quartz veinlets (A-veinlets) and potassic alteration. Relative to Verde, Pancho is telescoped, with all three zones present within a 400-m-vertical interval. The porphyry copperlike zone at Pancho is characterized by A-veinlets and pervasive potassic alteration, both restricted to intrusive rocks. A-veinlets range from hairline streaks of magnetite ± biotite with minor quartz and chalcopyrite, and K feldspar alteration envelopes to sugary quartz veinlets <1 cm in width with mag- netite and chalcopyrite and no alteration envelopes. Hypersaline liquid inclusions coexisting with vapor-rich in- clusions indicate temperatures above 600°C and salinities as high as 84 wt percent NaCl equiv. A pressure es- timate of 250 bars indicates a depth of 1,000 m, assuming lithostatic pressure.

Experiments especially by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, were applied to a wide range of samples with controlled origin. The methods were optimised and resulted in premises to apply the techniques to analysis of the archaeological material.

They consist of siliceous clay of Conifers and certain flowering trees, especially in hot (0.20-1.40 m) always containing thin intercalations of climates. From the mineralogical point of view amber bituminous shales (2-5 cm) and of preanthracite coal could be considered a mineraloid.
