SryONEN Instiarcof ElcctronOptics, University of OuhaFN-90570 Ouh+ Finlnnd ABSTRACT The first terrestrial titanium-rich sulfides, the fust natural niobium-rich sulfide FeMgSe, fluorine-rich (ca. 6 wt.Vo D end-memberphlogopite (S().04 wLTo FeO) and ferroan alabandite occurlocally in aheterogeneous xenolit\ enclosed within nepheline syenite in the l(hifiaa alkalins gs6plex, Kola Peninsul4 northwestem Russia- This assemblage is exclusively associated with an alkali-feldspar-rich rock, probably fenite. Associat€d ninerals include corundum, Nb-Zr-bearing rutile and monazite. The maximum Ti content reaches 3.9 w.7o in pynhotite and 2 wt.7o in marcasite and pyrite, which represent prducts of replacement of the pynhotite. Titanium is distributed rather homogeneously within single grains of the pyrrhotite; however, a strong grain-to-gain variation is observed. The Tl-rich sulfides invariably contrin an elevated level ofvanadium (0.2-0 .4 wr.Vo).T\e results indicate that both Ti and V enter into solid solution in the sulfides. Presumably, there is an environmental similarity between the occurrences ofTl-bearing sulfides in trftibina and in meteorites (enstatite chondrites), where Tl-bearing hoilite occurs.

  • Cafetite, Ca[Ti2o5](H2O): Crystal Structure and Revision of Chemical Formula
    American Mineralogist, Volume 88, pages 424–429, 2003 Cafetite, Ca[Ti2O5](H2O): Crystal structure and revision of chemical formula SERGEY V. K RIVOVICHEV,1,* VICTOR N. YAKOVENCHUK,2 PETER C.

ABSTRACT The crystal structure of cafetite, ideally Ca[Ti2O5](H2O), (monoclinic, P21/n, a = 4.9436(15), b = 12.109(4), c = 15.911(5) Å, b = 98.937(5)∞, V = 940.9(5) Å3, Z = 8) has been solved by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.057 using X-ray diffraction data collected from a crystal pseudo-merohedrally twinned on (001). There are four symmetrically independent Ti cations; each is octahedrally coordi- nated by six O atoms. The coordination polyhedra around the Ti cations are strongly distorted with individual Ti-O bond lengths ranging from 1.743 to 2.223 Å (the average <Ti-O> bond length is 1.98 Å). Two symmetrically independent Ca cations are coordinated by six and eight anions for Ca1 and Ca2, respectively. The structure is based on [Ti2O5] sheets of TiO6 octahedra parallel to (001). The Ca atoms and H2O groups are located between the sheets and link them into a three-dimensional struc- ture. The structural formula of cafetite confirmed by electron microprobe analysis is Ca[Ti2O5](H2O), .

He has never looked back. He holds a doctorate in electrical engineering and had a distinguished career as an Italian industrialist. His passion for minerals has produced a collection of more than 13,000 specimens, with both systematic and aesthetic subcollections. His wife Adriana shares his passion for minerals and is his partner in collecting and curating. An excellent profile of Renato, Adriana, and their many collections appeared earlier this year in Mineralogical Record (42:41-52). Tonight Dr. Pagano will talk about an historic mineral collection assembled between 1861 and 1908 and recently acquired intact by the Museum of Natural History of Milan. We most warmly welcome Dr. Renato Pagano back to the speakers’ podium. 9:15 Cocktails and snacks in the Hospitality Suite on the 4th floor will be available throughout the rest of the evening. Dealers’ rooms will be open at this time. All of the dealers are located on the 4th floor.

Agpaitic nepheline syenites have complex, Na-Ca-Zr-Ti minerals as the main hosts for zirconium and titanium, rather than zircon and titanite, which are characteristic for miaskitic rocks. The transition from a miaskitic to an agpaitic crystallization regime in silica-undersaturated magma has traditionally been related to increasing peralkalinity of the magma, but halogen and water contents are also important parameters. The Larvik Plutonic Complex (LPC) in the Permian Oslo Rift, Norway consists of intrusions of hypersolvus monzonite (larvikite), nepheline monzonite (lardalite) and nepheline syenite. Pegmatites ranging in composition from miaskitic syenite with or without nepheline to mildly agpaitic nepheline syenite are the latest products of magmatic differentiation in the complex. The pegmatites can be grouped in (at least) four distinct suites from their magmatic Ti and Zr silicate mineral assemblages.

    Revision 2 of Ms. 5419 Time’s Arrow in the Trees of Life and Minerals Peter J. Heaney1,* 1Dept. of Geosciences, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802 *To whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] Page 1 Revision 2 of Ms. 5419 1 ABSTRACT 2 Charles Darwin analogized the diversification of species to a Tree of Life. 3 This metaphor aligns precisely with the taxonomic system that Linnaeus developed 4 a century earlier to classify living species, because an underlying mechanism – 5 natural selection – has driven the evolution of new organisms over vast timescales. 6 On the other hand, the efforts of Linnaeus to extend his “universal” organizing 7 system to minerals has been regarded as an epistemological misfire that was 8 properly abandoned by the late nineteenth century. 9 The mineral taxonomies proposed in the wake of Linnaeus can be 10 distinguished by their focus on external character (Werner), crystallography (Haüy), 11 or chemistry (Berzelius). This article appraises the competition among these 12 systems and posits that the chemistry-based Berzelian taxonomy, as embedded 13 within the widely adopted system of James Dwight Dana, ultimately triumphed 14 because it reflects Earth’s episodic but persistent progression with respect to 15 chemical differentiation. In this context, Hazen et al.’s (2008) pioneering work in 16 mineral evolution reveals that even the temporal character of the phylogenetic Tree 17 of Life is rooted within a Danan framework for ordering minerals. 18 19 Page 1 Revision 2 of Ms. 5419 20 INTRODUCTION 21 In an essay dedicated to the evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr, Stephen Jay 22 Gould (2000) expresses his indignation at the sheer luckiness of Carolus Linnaeus 23 (1707-1778; Fig.

Box 27272, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates Abstract – Brandãoite, [BeAl2(PO4)2(OH)2(H2O)4](H2O), is a new Be Al phosphate mineral from the João Firmino mine, Pomarolli farm region, Divino das Laranjeiras County, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, where it occurs in an albite pocket with other secondary phosphates, including beryllonite, atencioite and zanazziite, in a granitic pegmatite. It occurs as colourless acicular crystals <10 µm wide and <100 µm long that form compact radiating spherical aggregates up to 1.0–1.5 mm across. It is colourless and transparent in single crystals and white in aggregates, has a white streak and a vitreous lustre, is brittle and has conchoidal fracture. Mohs hardness is 6, and the calculated density 3 α β γ is 2.353 g/cm . Brandãoite is biaxial (+), = 1.544, = 1.552 and = 1.568, all ± 0.002; 2Vobs = 69.7(10)° and 2Vcalc = 71.2°.
