The samples can be divided into three types: Mn-rich 15 16 nodules, Fe-Mn nodules, and Fe-rich nodules. The manganese-bearing phases are todorokite, birnessite, 16 17 and buserite. The iron-bearing phases are feroxyhyte, goethite, 2-line ferrihydrite, and proto-goethite 17 18 (intermediate phase between feroxyhyte and goethite). The XRD patterns from a nodule cross section 18 19 suggest the transformation of birnessite to todorokite. The TEM-EDS spectra show that todorokite is 19 associated with Ba, Co, Ni, and Zn; birnessite is associated with Ca and Na; and buserite is associated with 20 2+ +2 3+ 20 Ca. The todorokite has an average chemical formula of Ba0.28(Zn0.14Co0.05 21 2+ 4+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 2+ 21 Ni0.02)(Mn4.99Mn0.82Fe0.12Co0.05Ni0.02)O12·nH2O.

The deposit is confined within a felsic tuff unit; about 10 meters thick where sampled for chemical analysis. Using XRF, EDS and XRD techniques, we found besides todorokite, cryptomelane, quartz, romanechite (psilomelane), birnessite, illite-muscovite, cristobalite, chlorite, barite, halloysite, woodruffite, nacrite or kaolinite, and possibly hollandite-ferrian, as well as an amorphous material and two unknown manganese phases.

Both normal and sector-zoned crystals occur. Babing- tonite crystals with sector zoning consist of sectors relatively enriched in Fe and of sectors enriched in Mg, Mn, and Al. Babingtonite also shows compositional zoning with higher Fe2+ and Al core and higher Fe3+ and Mn 2+ rim. The average Fe content of the babingtonite without sector zoning is similar to the Fe -rich sector of the sector-zoned babingtonite. The chemical formula based on the average composition of all analytical data (n = 2+ 3+ - 193) is [Na0.01(2)Ca2.01(2)] [Mg0.11(4)Mn0.09(3)Fe0.76(7)Fe_ 0.93(5)Ti0.01(1)Al0.06(5)]Si5.01(4)O14(OH).

  • Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XX/2, 325—336, 1972. METAMORPHISM OF SEDIMENTARY MANGANESE DEPOSITS SUPRIYA ROY ABSTRACT: Metamorphosed sedimentary deposits of manganese occur extensively in India, Brazil, U. S. A., Australia, New Zealand, U. S. S. R., West and South West Africa, Madagascar and Japan. Different mineral-assemblages have been recorded from these deposits which may be classi- fied into oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations. The oxide formations are represented by lower oxides (braunite, bixbyite, hollandite, hausmannite, jacobsite, vredenburgite •etc.), the carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, kutnahorite, manganoan calcite etc., the silicate formations by spessartite, rhodonite, manganiferous amphiboles and pyroxenes, manganophyllite, piedmontite etc. and the silicate-carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, rhodonite, tephroite, spessartite etc. Pétrographie and phase-equilibia data indicate that the original bulk composition in the sediments, the reactions during metamorphism (contact and regional and the variations and effect of 02, C02, etc. with rise of temperature, control the mineralogy of the metamorphosed manga- nese formations. The general trend of formation and transformation of mineral phases in oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations during regional and contact metamorphism has, thus, been established. Sedimentary manganese formations, later modified by regional or contact metamorphism, have been reported from different parts of the world. The most important among such deposits occur in India, Brazil, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Ghana, South and South West Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan etc. An attempt will be made to summarize the pertinent data on these metamorphosed sedimentary formations so as to establish the role of original bulk composition of the sediments, transformation and reaction of phases at ele- vated temperature and varying oxygen and carbon dioxide fugacities in determin- ing the mineral assemblages in these deposits.

    Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry Vol. 78 pp. 371-398, 2014 9 Copyright© Mineralogical Society of America Optical Spectroscopy George R. Rossman Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125-2500, U.S.A. grr@ gps.caltech.edu INTRODUCTION Optical spectroscopy is concerned with the measurement of the absorption, reflection and emission of light in the near-ultraviolet (-250 nm) through the mid-infrared ( -3000 nm) portions of the spectrum. The human interface to the geological and mineralogical world is primarily visual. Optical spectroscopy is, in particular, well suited to investigating the origin of color in minerals. The reflection spectroscopy of minerals has been motivated to a large extent by interest in remote sensing. Emission spectra are usually studied in reference to luminescence phenomena. Studies of mineral color, metal ion site occupancy, oxidation states and concentrations have generally been done with absorption spectroscopy. This chapter concentrates on single crystal absorption spectroscopy. Absorption of light by crystals can occur for a number of reasons. For many minerals, the presence of ions of transition elements (e.g., Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) in their various oxidation states is the cause of light absorption. In some minerals, the individual ions cause the light absorption while in others it is the interaction between ions such as between Fe2+ and Fe3+ that causes color. In some minerals, rare-earth elements are an important source of color. 2 Some minerals are colored by small molecular units involving metal ions (UOl+, Cr04 -) or anions (S 3- in sodalites). Many sulfide minerals such as cinnabar (HgS) and realgar (As4S4) owe their color to band gaps in the semiconducting sulfides.

  • Cavansite, a Calcium and Vanadium Silicate of Formula Ca(VO)(Si4o1o
    .. ,., Cavansite, a calcium and vanadium silicate of formula Ca(VO)(Si4O1o).4H.P, occurs as sky-blue to greenish-blue radiating prismatic rosettes up to~mm in size associated with its dimorph, pentagonite, in a roadcut near Lake Owyhee State Park in Malheur County, Oregon. Discovery of these two minerals is attributed to Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Perrigo of Fruitland, Idaho, (at this locality in 1961), and to Dr. John Cowles at the Goble locality in 1963 (see below). Associated with the cavansite and pentagonite are abundant colorless analcime, stilbite, chabazite, thomsonite and heulandite, as well as colorless to pale yellow calcite, and rare green or colorless apophyllite. This occurence and a similar emplacement (of cavansite only) near Goble, Columbia County, Oregon (co-type localities), represent the only known deposits of these two minerals in the United States. As determined by X-ray fluorescense and crystal stfiucture analysis, cavansite is orthorhombic, conforms to space group Pcmn (D2h 6), has a unit cell with a=lO.298(4), b=l3.999(7), c=9.6O1(2) Angstroms, contains four formula units, is optically biaxial positive and strongly pleochroic. Pentagonite, the dimorph, occurs as prismatic crystals twinned to form fivelings with a star­ shaped cross section. Also orthorhombic, it belongs to space group 12 Ccm21(C2v ), and has a unit cell with a=lO.298(4), b=13.999(7), and c=B.891(2) Angstroms, and also contains ··four formula units. The pentagonite crystals are optically very similar to cavansite, but are biaxially negative. The cell dimensions given tend to vary· to a small degree, presumably because of varying zeolitic water content.
