Serpentinites are rocks, often used in buildings, formed large extent by minerals of the serpentine group: chrysotile, antigorite, lizardite, and polygonal serpentine. The fibrous type (e.g. chrysotile) group minerals, along with several amphibole varieties actinolite tremolite), major components asbestos family. exposure to fine powder is linked diseases such as pleural mesothelioma asbestosis. identification main group, laminated or fibrous, becomes an issue great interest for public...
Abstract The occurrence of crystallized and glassy melt inclusions (MI) in high‐grade, partially melted metapelites metagraywackes has opened up new possibilities to investigate anatectic processes. present study focuses on three case studies: khondalites from the Kerala Khondalite Belt (India), Ronda migmatites (Spain), Barun Gneiss (Nepal Himalaya). results a detailed microstructural investigation are reported, along with some microchemical data bulk composition MI. These were trapped...
Abstract The dacite of El Joyazo contains abundant metapelitic xenoliths. These can be divided into two main types: garnet-biotite-sillimanite and spinel-cordierite In the xenoliths widespread occurrence rhyolitic glass as interstitial films, foliation-parallel layers primary melt inclusions in all mineral phases indicates that these assemblages developed presence a phase, i.e. during anatexis. composition is comparable to inclusions, suggesting was locally produced. Phase equilibria...
Albite is one of the most common minerals in Earth's crust, and its polymorphs can be found rocks with different cooling histories. The characteristic spectrum vibration albite mineral reflects structural Si/Al ordering. In this study, we report on comparison between Raman spectra measured a natural fully ordered (as deduced basis single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data) ‘low albite’, NaAlSi 3 O 8 , those calculated at hybrid Hartree–Fock/density functional theory level by employing WC1LYP...
Clay minerals in structurally complex settings influence fault zone behavior and characteristics such as permeability frictional properties. This work aims to understand the role of zones on clay authigenesis arkosic, high-porosity sandstones Cretaceous Rio do Peixe basin, northeast Brazil. We integrated field, petrographic scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations with X-ray diffraction data (bulk clay-size fractions). Fault field are characterized by low-porosity deformation bands,...
Covered by ultrabasic units for more than a third of its surface, the New Caledonia (South West Pacific) is one largest world producers Ni-ore from lateritic deposits. Almost all outcrops geological and open mines contain serpentine amphibole, also as asbestos varieties. In this context, in which weathering processes had great contribution production dispersion mineral fibres into environment, development routinely analytical strategy, able to discriminate an asbestiform fibre non-harmful...
Abstract A ceramic factory with at least three kilns, active from the 14th century until 17th century, was recently found close to city walls of Parma (Italy). series measurements by different techniques performed on pottery fragments belonging first and last production period. Micro‐Raman spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive were used study glazes painting materials, while time‐of‐flight neutron diffraction X‐ray characterize bodies. The bodies are mainly composed...

Amphiboles are an important family of rock forming minerals, whose identification is crucial in provenance studies as well many other fields geology, archaeology and environmental sciences. This study aimed to find a quick way characterize Ca-amphiboles the tremolite (Ca2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2)–ferro–actinolite (Ca2Fe5Si8O22(OH)2) series. Raman spectroscopy established technique perform non-destructive analysis, with micrometric resolution, able give composition terms Mg/(Mg + Fe2+) ratio. To...
The investigated mantle bodies from the External Ligurians (Groppo di Gorro and Mt. Rocchetta) show evidences of a complex evolution determined by an early high temperature metasomatism, due to percolating melts asthenospheric origin, later metasomatism at relatively hydrothermal fluids, with formation rodingites. At Groppo Gorro, serpentinization chloritization processes obliterated totally pyroxenite protolith, whereas Rocchetta relics peridotite protoliths were preserved serpentinization....
Exposure to natural occurrences of asbestos (NOA) and other potentially hazardous elongated mineral particles (EMPs) may pose a risk human health the environment. Weathering forces anthropic activities alter cohesion NOA-bearing outcrops disperse EMPs in air, water, soil. The current paradigm for fibre toxicity indicates that morphology crystal chemistry are key parameters determining toxicological properties mineral.
