This master guide with annotated pictures will help you identify rock-forming, accessory, and rare or notable minerals.
index minerals such as garnet,pyroxene and magnetite reveal a descending temperature regime,beginning at the peak of thermal metamorphism (550 掳C) and ending with the main phase of magnetite mineralization (350-400 掳C).Mineral chemistry of prograde minerals namely garnet and pyroxene implemented ...

The Barrovian metamorphic sequence of northeastern Scotland plays a critical role in our understanding of regional metamorphism at middle and lower crustal levels. The importance of regional temperature and pressure gradients in producing the sequence is well established, but the petrogenetic significance ...

During Birimian volcanic activity, submarine exhalation of base metal- and gold-bearing fluids produced chemical sediments enriched in gold, silica, sulphides, manganese, and carbonate minerals (Kesse, 1985, Leube et al., 1990). Fluid inclusion studies show that H2O + CO2 + N2 dominated the ...
