Description. This dissertation is a multipart study of the -chemistry and of the mineral . The H₂O and Na content of are quantified and related for emerald and each major variety using single- X-ray diffraction methods. The -chemistry of is shown to have differences across varieties.

The specific arrangement of atoms within the of red gives rise to its unique physical and optical properties, high refractive index, excellent brilliance and sparkle, and durability. The chemical composition and of red are what make it a rare and valuable gemstone. Optical properties

Recently, minor and trace elements have been extensively used in studying the origin of in addition to microinclusions and spectroscopic data (Uher et al., 2010;Bidny et al., 2011 ...

The contrasting trends between Brl I and Brl II are interpreted to reflect two distinct processes affecting trace element variations in fractionation from a magma with systematic core to rim zoning (decreasing Li and enrichment in Na, K, Rb, Sc, and Fe), and metasomatism with enrichment in Li, Cs, Na, B and As. An extensive trace element dataset was generated in ...

In this work, the of the chemical characteristics and nature of the color of from the Sherlovaya Gora deposit (Transbaikalia) were carried out. The color of is associated with Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions which are isomorphically replaced by Al 3+ ions in the mineral . has been found that in the color of yellow ...

The complex chemistry of has been re-evaluated on the basis of new chemical analyses and X-ray structural refinements on samples of different sources and compositions. The results show that main substitutions concern divalent and Li ions for Al in octahedral and Be in tetrahedral sites, respectively; both substitutions need ...

The solid-state of (Cs,Na) [ (Be2Li)Al2Si6O18], a -type material, was studied in-situ on single powder samples at hydrostatic high pressure (P ≤ 9.8 GPa) as ...

In this , ten homogeneous grains from the pegmatite zone were separated, and seven fresh and unaltered were selected for petrological and geochemical The concentrations of major oxides and trace elements, rare earth elements (REEs) and Sr isotope ratios, were measured in the selected grains in this .

(mostly emerald) was mined in Egypt since Antiquity, particularly the so-called "Cleopatra's Mines" in the Eastern Desert were a major source of emerald in the world during the Roman era in northeast Africa. Emerald from the Nugrus belt is located at Sikait, Um Sleimat, Um Addebbaa and Um Kabu areas where the ancient mines are confined structurally and genetically to "schist-type ...

+ Kfeldspar, products of this reaction, reacted with fluid during cooling to give muscovite + phenakite or bertrandite; however, due to relatively small interval for phenakite stability in ...

chemistry The ability of minerals to incorporate various chemical elements generally depends on its their local geochemical environment. Therefore, the chemical composition of a mineral in 'essential', minor and trace elements can reflect the genetic during its crystallization, with consideration of possible structural constraints.

prediction is a challenging topic. Few models have been developed that use the chemical composition of a known compound to determine a complete . A complete structural model should include all major bond lengths and angles, atomic coordinates, polyhedral volumes and distortions, and unit-cell parameters.

The study gives the overall the local variations in the channels. Experimental methods. The sample investigated here is a natural of the heliodor variety from the Bin Thuan Province in Vietnam. The is 2.49 cm long and has a weight of 7.65 Karat (see Fig. 2). In a preliminary study, an element analysis of 59 ...

However, the theoretical chemical formula of can be obtained by using ideal chemical ratio method. The ideal chemical formula of is Be 3 Al 2 Si 6 O 18. Therefore, it ...

These analyses indicate that the Xuebaoding material is a Na-Li-Cs with a dominance of tetrahedral substitution in the . Based on a systematic statistical study of the relationship between chemical composition and habit, a high content of alkalis leads to a lower growth rate of c {0001} compared with m , producing the short prismatic/columnar habit that typifies the ...

(Be3Al2Si6O18) is an ideal mineral to show that predicting the using chemistry is possible: the framework is known, this has only two cation sites that ...

The Cuonadong deposit is the first large scale Sn-W-Be rare polymetallic deposit located in southern Tibet, China, where is the main beryllium-bearing mineral. In this paper, the in the pegmatitic and hydrothermal vein orebody from the Xianglin area of the Cuonadong deposit are the objects, marked as Beryl-I and -II, and they are investigated by EPMA, LA-ICP ...

as the most common beryllium mineral is of important geochemical significance in different geological contexts. Ideally Be 3 Al 2 Si 6 O 18, is a cyclosilicate mineral of hexagonal .Six-membered rings of Si tetrahedra are linked by tetrahedrally coordinated Be 2+ (T2 site) and octahedrally coordinated Al 3+ (A site) in planes parallel to (0001) (Aurisicchio et al ...

1. Introduction. Exploration, mining and processing of gem variety "emerald" are known in Egypt since the time of the Roman Empire in North Africa (Surour and Omar, 2020 and references therein about historiography).There are extensive archaeological the Ancient Egyptian emerald mines in the vicinity of Wadi El Gemal environ (e.g., Shaw and Bunbury, 2003; Harrell ...

The . has a of space group P6/mcc, which has been refined several times by X-ray and neutron diffraction 23,24,25.The of the cyclosilicate consists ...

Previous of the Complex include investigations into its age, geology, and associated mineralization (Cloos, 1911, Emmermann, 1979, Blümel et al., 1979, Samples and analytical methods. A total of 45 specimens were selected for study from a much larger collection comprising of several hundred (Fig. 3).

The objective of our study was to compare the -chemical properties of in four rare-element granitic pegmatites with various degrees of fractionation from the Damara Belt, Namibia. We compared the variations of chemical composition and the structural arrangement of as a possible result of pegmatite evolution.
