SDLRC - Mineralogy


The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Scientific and Media Articles based on Major Keyword - Mineralogy
The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation is compiled by Patricia Sheahan who publishes on a monthly basis a list of new scientific articles related to diamonds as well as media coverage and corporate announcements called the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service that is distributed as a free pdf to a list of followers. Pat has kindly agreed to allow her work to be made available as an online digital resource at Kaiser Research Online so that a broader community interested in diamonds and related geology can benefit. The references are for personal use information purposes only; when available a link is provided to an online location where the full article can be accessed or purchased directly. Reproduction of this compilation in part or in whole without permission from the Sheahan Diamond Literature Service is strictly prohibited. Return to Diamond Keyword Index

Each article reference in the SDLRC is tagged with one or more key words assigned by Pat Sheahan to highlight the main topics of the article. In an effort to make it easier for users to track down articles related to a specific topic, KRO has extracted these key words and developed a list of major key words presented in this Key Word Index to which individual key words used in the article reference have been assigned. In most of the individual Key Word Reports the references are in crhonological order, though in some such as Deposits the order is first by key word and then chronological. Only articles classified as "technical" (mainly scientific journal articles) and "media" (independent media articles) are included in the Key Word Index. References that were added in the most recent monthly update are highlighted in yellow.

One look at the Wikipedia entry for Mineralogy tells you that these scientific articles with highly technical titles are exclusively for the diamond sector's scientists. If you think the title "Distribution and processing of highly siderophile elements in cratonic mantle lithosphere" has something to do with pornography, do not go there. But if you do, you will find in this article's case that the abstract is almost a paper in its own right, and if you do not reluctantly feel a tug to tackle it and the underlying article, then you fall into that category of people "who do not know what they don't know".

Abstract: A new picromerite-group mineral, nickelpicromerite, K2Ni(SO4)2 - 6H2O (IMA 2012-053), was found at the Vein #169 of the Ufaley quartz deposit, near the town of Slyudorudnik, Kyshtym District, Chelyabinsk area, South Urals, Russia. It is a supergene mineral that occurs, with gypsum and goethite, in the fractures of slightly weathered actinolite-talc schist containing partially vermiculitized biotite and partially altered sulfides: pyrrhotite, pentlandite, millerite, pyrite and marcasite. Nickelpicromerite forms equant to short prismatic or tabular crystals up to 0.07 mm in size and anhedral grains up to 0.5 mm across, their clusters or crusts up to 1 mm. Nickelpicromerite is light greenish blue. Lustre is vitreous. Mohs hardness is 2-2½. Cleavage is distinct, parallel to {10-2}. Dmeas is 2.20(2), Dcalc is 2.22 g cm?3. Nickelpicromerite is optically biaxial (+), ? = 1.486(2), ? = 1.489(2), ? = 1.494(2), 2Vmeas =75(10)°, 2Vcalc =76°. The chemical composition (wt.%, electron-microprobe data) is: K2O 20.93, MgO 0.38, FeO 0.07, NiO 16.76, SO3 37.20, H2O (calc.) 24.66, total 100.00. The empirical formula, calculated based on 14 O, is: K1.93Mg0.04Ni0.98S2.02O8.05(H2O)5.95. Nickelpicromerite is monoclinic, P21/c, a = 6.1310(7), b = 12.1863(14), c = 9.0076(10) Å, ? = 105.045(2)°, V = 649.9(1) Å3, Z = 2. Eight strongest reflections of the powder XRD pattern are [d,Å-I(hkl)]: 5.386--34(110); 4.312-46(002); 4.240-33(120); 4.085--100(012, 10-2); 3.685-85(031), 3.041-45(040, 112), 2.808-31(013, 20-2, 122), 2.368-34(13-3, 21-3, 033). Nickelpicromerite (single-crystal X-ray data, R = 0.028) is isostructural to other picromerite-group minerals and synthetic Tutton’s salts. Its crystal structure consists of [Ni(H2O)6]2+ octahedra linked to (SO4)2? tetrahedra via hydrogen bonds. K+ cations are coordinated by eight anions. Nickelpicromerite is the product of alteration of primary sulfide minerals and the reaction of the acid Ni-sulfate solutions with biotite.

Abstract: Recent studies of mineral diversity and distribution lead to the prediction of >1563 mineral species on Earth today that have yet to be described-approximately one fourth of the 6394 estimated total mineralogical diversity. The distribution of these "missing" minerals is not uniform with respect to their essential chemical elements. Of 15 geochemically diverse elements (Al, B, C, Cr, Cu, Mg, Na, Ni, P, S, Si, Ta, Te, U, and V), we predict that approximately 25% of the minerals of Al, B, C, Cr, P, Si, and Ta remain to be described - a percentage similar to that predicted for all minerals. Almost 35% of the minerals of Na are predicted to be undiscovered, a situation resulting from more than 50% of Na minerals being white, poorly crystallized, and/or water soluble, and thus easily overlooked. In contrast, we predict that fewer than 20% of the minerals of Cu, Mg, Ni, S, Te, U, and V remain to be discovered. In addition to the economic value of most of these elements, their minerals tend to be brightly colored and/or well crystallized, and thus likely to draw attention and interest. These disparities in percentages of undiscovered minerals reflect not only natural processes, but also sociological factors in the search, discovery, and description of mineral species.

Huang, J-H., Huang, F., Evans, L., Glasauer, S.Vanadium: global (bio)geochemistry.Chemical Geology, Vol. 417, pp. 68-89.MantleMineralogy

Abstract: Redox-sensitive transition group elements are involved in almost all fundamental geochemical processes. Of these elements, vanadium (V) contributes a particularly powerful tool to decipher the Earth's history and its link to extraterrestrial bodies. A comprehensive view of V includes the formation and interaction between the Earth's interior layers, the evolution of the Earth's surface to a habitable zone, biogeochemical cycling, and anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Tracing the geochemical behavior of V through the Earth's compartments reveals critical connections between almost all disciplines of Earth sciences. Vanadium has a history of application as a redox tracer to address the early accretion history of the Earth, to identify connections between the mantle and crust by subduction and melting, and to interpret past surface environments. The geochemical cycling of V from the deep Earth to the surface occurs through magmatism, weathering and digenesis, reflecting variations of fO2 and V species in different Earth compartments. Minerals form a link between deep Earth reservoirs of vanadium and surface environments, and the study of V in minerals has increased the understanding of V cycling. Finally, the exploitation of V has been increasing since the Industrial Revolution, and significant amounts of V have been released as a consequence into natural systems. Environmental concerns are promoting new areas of research to focus on V cycling between water, air, soil and sediment compartments. An increased understanding of V in all compartments, and knowledge of the processes that connect the compartments, is vital to tracing the fate of this intriguing element in natural systems.

Aulbach, S., Mungall, J.E., Pearson, D.G.Distribution and processing of highly siderophile elements in cratonic mantle lithosphere.Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, Vol. 81, pp. 239-304.MantleMineralogy

Abstract: Cratonic lithospheric mantle is composed of predominantly refractory materials that formed at higher mantle potential temperatures (TP) than recorded in non-cratonic peridotites. It also shows stronger depletion and fractionation of Pd and Pt from Ru, Os and Ir than oceanic, supra-subduction zone or off-cratonic lithospheric mantle, as well as some of the lowest Se and Te contents. The varied response of the highly siderophile elements (HSE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd, Re, Au), and their embedded radioactive decay systems, to changes in oxygen fugacity (fO2), sulfur fugacity (fS2) and pressure (P)-in particular through the impact of these parameters on the stability of the main HSE-bearing sulfide and alloy phases makes them potentially powerful tracers of their melting environment. Therefore, investigation of the HSE systematics of cratonic mantle peridotites, in combination with information from Re–Os isotopes on time-integrated enrichment or depletion, can help us to understand processes leading to mantle differentiation and continental lithosphere formation in the Archean, which are controversial subjects despite decades of research. The longevity of the cratonic lithosphere implies that there was ample opportunity for secondary overprint, obscuring our view of earlier processes. For example, destabilization of platinum-group element (PGE: Os, Ir, Ru, Rh, Pt, Pd) alloy leading to depletions in the compatible PGE, and perhaps Pt, in some cratonic mantle samples may occur in an oxidizing mantle wedge or through interaction with oxidizing small-volume, volatile-rich melts that typically invade cratonic roots. Such melts may eventually deposit S, Pd, Pt and Re and also capture remaining PGE alloys, consistent with the anomalous S-rich character of many kimberlite-borne xenoliths. Their basalt-borne counterparts show additional late effects of subaerial degassing that can deplete volatile elements (S, Re, Os). Basaltic melts can also scavenge PGE alloys at depth, while still sulfide-undersaturated. Such melts, may, on ascent, add sulfides when they become sulfur-saturated and, during the process, refertilize the mantle and modify major-element and modal compositions. The investigation of minor lithologies in the cratonic lithosphere, such as eclogites and pyroxenites, which are expressions of tectonothermal events ranging from subduction to melt infiltration, can enhance our understanding of the effects of these processes on HSE redistribution. Thus, three major topics will be discussed, using HSE systematics in cratonic mantle samples: (1) How did the HSE behave during the (in part) extreme degrees of partial melt extraction experienced by cratonic lithospheric mantle; (2) What were the effects of the secular metasomatic overprint of the cratonic mantle; (3) What was the composition of the Archean convecting mantle, for which cratonic mantle samples may afford better insight than modern samples, provided, of course, that we have an accurate grasp of how HSE are redistributed during partial melting and metasomatism. Models based on experiments done under controlled pressure (P), temperature (T), fO2 and fS2 conditions can help place the data in context and to distinguish between melt- and metasomatism-related processes. Disentangling the various primary and secondary effects is only possible when HSE are studied in combination with lithophile elements, with due attention to petrography and mineralogy. This adds many layers of complexity, but ultimately allows a more complete understanding of the variegated processes that have shaped the cratonic lithosphere through time. In this review, we commence by discussing the peculiarities and complexities of continental lithospheric mantle origin, evolution and current state. We then introduce the database used in this contribution, followed by a brief review of the mineral hosts of HSE in peridotite and of the diverse approaches to isolate the HSE for measurement. We examine the behavior of the HSE during the formation of cratonic lithospheric mantle under non-uniformitarian conditions, where the application of the Re–Os isotope system has afforded particularly useful information on the timing of initial melt depletion and the stabilization of cratonic roots. We then turn to the effects of mantle metasomatism, both during intra-plate and craton-margin processes (see also Gannoun et al. 2016, this volume), on HSE systematics in cratonic mantle. We also discuss the data in the context of melt extraction modelling that shed light on the primary versus secondary HSE signatures in cratonic mantle rocks. Finally, we evaluate the possibility that the HSE in cratonic mantle retain a memory of core formation and subsequent accretionary processes.

Friis, H.First occurrence of moskvinite-(Y) in the Illmaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland.Mineralogical Magazine, Vol. 80, 1, pp. 31-41.Europe, GreenlandMineralogy

Abstract: Moskvinite-(Y), Na2K(Y,REE)Si6O15, is a rare mineral, which until now has only been described from its type locality Dara-i-Pioz, Tajikistan. At Ilímaussaq moskvinite-(Y) was discovered in a drill core from Kvanefjeld, where it occurs as a replacement mineral associated with a mineral belonging to the britholite group. The composition was determined by a combination of electron probe microanalysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses. The empirical formula based on 15 oxygens is Na1.94K0.99(Y0.94Yb0.03Er0.03 Dy0.03Ho0.01Gd0.01) ?1.05Si5.98O15. The coexistence of an almost pure Y and a light rare-earth element (REE) mineral is interpreted as fractionation of REE and Y during the replacement of an earlier formed REE mineral. Theoretical calculations of the observed replacement of feldspathoids by natrolite show that the generated fluid would have pH > 8, which inhibits large scale mobility of REE. In addition, a K-Fe sulfide member of the chlorbartonite-bartonite group is for the first time observed in Ilímaussaq where it occurs where sodalite is replaced by natrolite and arfvedsonite by aegirine. The sulfide incorporates the S and some of the Cl generated by the alteration of sodalite, whereas the K and Fe originates from the replacement of arfvedsonite by aegirine.

Ashchepkov, I.V., Ntaflos, T., Logvinova, A.M., Spetsius, Z.V., Downe, H., Vladykin, N.V.Monomineral universal clinopyroxene and garnet barometers for peridotitic, eclogitic and basaltic systems.Geoscience Frontiers, in press availableTechnologyMineralogy

Abstract: New versions of the universal Jd-Di exchange clinopyroxene barometer for peridotites, pyroxenites and eclogites, and also garnet barometer for eclogites and peridotites were developed. They were checked using large experimental data sets for eclogitic (?530) and peridotitic systems (>650). The precision of the universal Cpx barometer for peridotites based on Jd-Di exchange is close to Cr-Tschermakite method produced by Nimis and Taylor (2000). Cpx barometer was transformed by the substitution of major multiplier for KD by the equations dependent from Al-Na-Fe. Obtained equation in combination with the thermometer of Nimis and Taylor (2000) allow to reconstruct position of the magma feeder systems of the alkali basaltic magma within the mantle diapirs in modern platforms like in Vitim plateau and other Southern Siberia localities and several localities worldwide showing good agreement of pressure ranges for black and green suites. These equations allow construct PTX diagrams for the kimberlite localities in Siberia and worldwide calculating simultaneously the PT parameters for different groups of mantle rocks. They give very good results for the concentrates from kimberlite lamproites and placers with mantle minerals. They are useful for PT estimates for diamond inclusions. The positions of eclogite groups in mantle sections are similar to those determined with new Gar-Cpx barometer produced by C. Beyer et al. (2015). The Fe rich eclogites commonly trace the boundary between the lower upper parts of subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) at 3-4 GPa marking pyroxenite eclogites layer. Ca-rich eclogites and especially grospydites in SCLM beneath Precambrian kimberlites occurs near pyroxenite layer but in younger mantle sections they became common in the lower parts. The diamondiferous Mg Cr-less group eclogites referring to the ancient island arc complexes are also common in the middle part of mantle sections and near 5-6 GPa. Commonly eclogites in lower apart of mantle sections are remelted and trace the high temperature convective branch. The Mg- and Fe-rich pyroxenites also show the extending in pressure trends which suggest the anatexic melting under the influence of volatiles or under the interaction with plums.

Pilchin, A., Eppelbaum, L.V.Concentration of PGE during the Early Earth evolution: a review.Natural Resources Forum, Vol. 8, pp. 172-233.MantleMineralogy

Abstract: Numerous unique geological processes [1] took place during the early Earth evolution; several of them, especially those occurring in the Hadean—Early Archean and later, are reflected in the modern geological (geophysical, geochemical, etc.) pattern. One such significant enigmatic feature is the preservation of extremely dense and heavy platinum group elements (PGEs): Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, Os. Concentration of PGEs during this period could have taken place in two ways: 1) presence of particular matter capable of preserving PGEs near the earth's surface, 2) transportation of PGEs by magma flows from deep lithospheric (asthenospheric) layers (slabs) to the subsurface. Clearly, much of the dense and heavy PGEs did not sink through to the Earth’s mantle (core) at the time of the magma-ocean, and occur near Earth’s surface in abundances for formation of ore deposits with PGE concentrations found to be 2 - 3 orders of magnitude greater than those in their host media. Their enrichments are associated in numerous cases with such enigmatic phenomena as formation of anorthosites and anorthosite-bearing layered magmatic intrusions. PGE deposits and mineralization zones are also found in associations with chromitites, dunites and serpentinites. In this review, problems related to the initial concentration and preservation of PGEs, their association with anorthosites, and formation of layered intrusions are discussed in detail. The main aim of this article is analysis of the requirements—initial concentration and preservation of PGE and PGM (Platinum Group Minerals) during the early Earth evolution, as well as examination of the distribution behavior of some PGEs in different ore deposits and meteorites. It is supposed that meteoritic bombardment of Earth has played a significant role in formation of PGEs deposits. Some conclusions made in this article may be useful for developing and enhancing strategies of prospecting for PGEs deposits.

Abstract: Jörgkellerite, ideally Na3Mn3+ 3(PO4)2(CO3)O2•5H2O, is a new layered phosphate-carbonate from the Oldoinyo Lengai volcano in the Gregory Rift (northern Tanzania). The mineral occurs as spherulites, up to 200 ?m in diameter, consisting of plates up to 10 ?m in thickness in shortite-calcite and calcite carbonatites. Jörgkellerite is brown with a vitreous lustre and has a perfect micaceous cleavage on {001}, Mohs hardness is 3. The calculated density is 2.56 g/cm3. Jörgkellerite is uniaxial (-), ? = 1.700(2), ? = 1.625(2) (Na light, 589 nm) with distinct pleochroism: O = dark brown, E = light brown. The empirical formula of the mineral (average of 10 electron microprobe analyses) is (Na2.46K0.28Ca0.08Sr0.04Ba0.02)?2.88(Mn3+ 2.39Fe3+ 0.56)?2.95((PO4)1.95(SiO4)0.05))?2.00(CO3)(O1.84(OH)0.16)?2.00•5H2O. The oxidation state of Mn has been determined by XANES. Jörgkellerite is trigonal, space group P-3, a = 11.201(2) Å, c = 10.969(2) Å, V = 1191.9(7) Å3 and Z = 3. The five strongest powder-diffraction lines [d in Å, (I/I o), (hkl)] are: 10.970 (100) (001), 5.597 (15) (002), 4.993 (8) (111), 2.796 (14) (220) and 2.724 (20) (004). The crystal structure is built up of the layers composed of disordered edge-sharing [MnO6] octahedra. Each fourth Mn site in octahedral layer is vacant that results in appearance of ordered system of hexagonal "holes" occupied by (CO3) groups. The overall composition of the layer can be expressed as [Mn3O8(CO3)]. These manganese-carbonate layers are linked in the third dimension by (PO4) tetrahedra and Na-polyhedra. The origin of jörgkellerite is related to low-temperature oxidative alteration of gregoryite-nyerereite carbonatites.

Nayak, B., Meyer, F.M.Manganilmenite in the magnetite ore body from Pokphur area of Nagaland, north east India and the possibility of microdiamonds in the ophiolites of Indo-Myanmar rangens.Current Science, Vol. 112, 1, pp. 155-160.Indiamineralogy

Abstract: Manganilmenite is found to be associated with the magnetite ore body of Pokphur area in the Nagaland ophiolites, North East India. There is perhaps no earlier description of the mineral from the Indian subcontinent. It occurs as an accessory mineral with magnetite and Fe-chlorite (chamosite). Electron probe micro-analytical data reveal that the mineral contains 5.6–8.5 wt% MnO and traces of MgO, ZnO and Cr2O3, while the TiO2 content remains within narrow limits of 50–53 wt%. The calculated pyrophanite end-member varies from 13% to 18%. Although the magnetite body of Pokphur has been reasonably proved to be a hydrothermally altered product of basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks, and most of the minerals in the magnetite body are supergene in nature, different end-member compositions of mangan–ilmenite indicate that it has originally crystallized with the basic suite of rocks and has survived the alteration process with only marginal effects. Since manganilmenite has been considered as a diamond indicator mineral and ophiolites are a newly documented host of microdiamonds elsewhere in the world, the presence of manganilmenite in the Pokphur magnetite hints towards occurrence of microdiamonds in the ophiolite suite of rocks of the Indo-Myanmar ranges.

Prasad, R.Cr-diopsides from Lattavaram and Kalyanadurgam kimberlites, Anantapur district, southern India: inferences from loam sampling.Role of Geophysics in Earth and Environmental Studies , March 1p. AbstractIndiamineralogy

Abstract: A comparison of major element content in Cr-diopside mineral grains, from loam samples, of two kimberlite pipes each from Lattavaram (P-3 and P-4) and Kalyanadurgam (KL-1 and KL-2) clusters of Wajrakarur Kimberlite Field (WKF) has been presented here. The two selected Lattavaram pipes are well exposed whereas the Kalyanadurgam pipes are concealed under 1.5 to 2 meter thick alluvium and calcrete, which is endowed with easily identifiable kimberlitic indicator minerals (KIMs). The indicator minerals are mantle derived xenocrystic types like pyrope garnet, Cr-diopside, ilmenite, chromite and olivine which provide inferences on their petrogenesis. It is observed that Cr-diopside is a prominent mineral constituent in both these locations and plays a vital role in reconnaissance diamond exploration. Surface in-situ loam sampling was carried out and ~15 kg of sample has been collected, to segregate heavy minerals which were concentrated by panning and jigging. In total, 66 Cr-diopside grains in total; 26 from Lattavaram and 40 from Kalyanadurgam were picked under the microscope and studied for their major element geochemistry by EPMA. In Lattavaram area, 25 grains were identified to be of C5 class and one grain belongs to C3. In Kalyandurgam, it is observed that 39 grains belong to CP5 category and one grain to C2 class. The range of Cr2O3 weight% for Lattavaram samples is 0.94- 2.8 and that for Kalyanadurgam samples is 0.54- 6.34. It is envisaged that the entries of Fe, Al, Na, Ca, and Cr into the clinopyroxene structure are strongly affected by the P-T-X conditions during mineral crystallization. It is observed that the mantle derived kimberlitic Cr-diopside is low in Fe-content relative to that of crustal rocks. This study revealed that Cr-diopsides of investigated pipes are of kimberlitic nature and plot in the diamond inclusion field thereby signifying the prospectivity of the pipes.

Sinmyo, R., McCammon, C., Dubrovinsky, L.The spin state of Fe3+ in lower mantle bridgmanite.American Mineralogist, Vol. 102, pp. 1263-1269.Mantlebridgmanite

Abstract: Iron- and aluminum-bearing MgSiO3 bridgmanite is the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s interior; hence its crystal chemistry is fundamental to expanding our knowledge of the deep Earth and its evolution. In this study, the valence and spin state of iron in well-characterized Al-free Fe3+-rich bridgmanite were investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy to understand the effect of ferric iron on the spin state. We found that a minor amount of Fe3+ is in the low-spin state above 36 GPa and that its proportion does not increase substantially with pressure up to 83 GPa. This observation is consistent with recent experimental studies that used Mössbauer and X-ray emission spectroscopy. In the Earth’s deep lower mantle, Fe3+ spin crossover may take place at depths below 900 and 1200 km in pyrolite and MORB, respectively. However, the effect of spin crossover on physical properties may be small due to the limited amount of Fe3+ in the low-spin state.

Abstract: Accessory minerals are a common species in igneous and metamorphic rocks that are not considered characteristic of the host rock and hence do not affect its root name. Accessories tend to be complex in terms of their chemical and isotopic composition and their structural state. In spite of not being major rock constituents, they are, however, of enormous petrologic interest as they contain a record of the formation and post-formation history of their host rock. The study of accessory minerals hence has increased continuously during the past years, and still increases (Fig. 1). Recent progress is driven by new analytical opportunities of (in situ) micro-techniques. More and more the internal textures, that is, elemental, isotopic, and/or structural distribution patterns within individual grains, have come into the focus of researchers; a few examples are compiled in Fig. 2.

Abstract: Mineral grain size in the mantle affects fluid migration by controlling mantle permeability; the smaller the grain size, the less permeable the mantle is. Mantle shear viscosity also affects fluid migration by controlling compaction pressure; high mantle shear viscosity can act as a barrier to fluid flow. Here we investigate for the first time their combined effects on fluid migration in the mantle wedge of subduction zones over ranges of subduction parameters and patterns of fluid influx using a 2-D numerical fluid migration model. Our results show that fluids introduced into the mantle wedge beneath the forearc are first dragged downdip by the mantle flow due to small grain size (<1 mm) and high mantle shear viscosity that develop along the base of the mantle wedge. Increasing grain size with depth allows upward fluid migration out of the high shear viscosity layer at subarc depths. Fluids introduced into the mantle wedge at postarc depths migrate upward due to relatively large grain size in the deep mantle wedge, forming secondary fluid pathways behind the arc. Fluids that reach the shallow part of the mantle wedge spread trench-ward due to the combined effect of high mantle shear viscosity and advection by the inflowing mantle and eventually pond at 55-65 km depths. These results show that grain size and mantle shear viscosity together play an important role in focusing fluids beneath the arc.

Xiong, Q., Griffin, W.L., Huang, J-X., Gain, S.E.M., Toledo, V., Pearson, N.J., O'Reilly, S.Y.Super reduced assemblages in "ophiolitic" chromitites and peridotites: the view from Mount Carmel.European Journal of Mineralogy, Vol. 29, 4, pp. 557-570.Europe, Israelmineralogy

Abstract: Ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) materials (e.g., diamond, high-pressure polymorph of chromite) and super-reduced (SuR) phases (e.g., carbides, nitrides, silicides and native metals) have been identified in chromitites and peridotites of the Tibetan and Polar-Urals ophiolites. These unusual assemblages suggest previously unrecognized fluid- or melt-related processes in the Earth’s mantle. However, the origin of the SuR phases, and in particular their relationships with the UHP materials in the ophiolites, are still enigmatic. Studies of a recently recognized SuR mineral system from Cretaceous volcanics on Mt Carmel, Israel, suggest an alternative genesis for the ophiolitic SuR phases. The Mt Carmel SuR mineral system (associated with Ti-rich corundum xenocrysts) appears to reflect the local interaction of mantle-derived CH4 ± H2 fluids with basaltic magmas in the shallow lithosphere (depths of ?30-100 km). These interactions produced desilication of the magma, supersaturation in Al2O3 leading to rapid growth of corundum, and phase assemblages requiring local oxygen fugacity (fO2) gradually dropping to ?11 log units below the iron-wüstite (IW) buffer. The strong similarities between this system and the SuR phases and associated Ti-rich corundum in the Tibetan and Polar-Urals ophiolites suggest that the ophiolitic SuR suite probably formed by local influx of CH4 ± H2 fluids within previously subducted peridotites (and included chromitites) during their rapid exhumation from the deep upper mantle to lithospheric levels. In the final stages of their ascent, the recycled peridotites and chromitites were overprinted by a shallow magmatic system similar to that observed at Mt Carmel, producing most of the SuR phases and eventually preserving them within the Tibetan and Polar-Urals ophiolites.

Nesbitt, H.W., Cormack, A.N., Henderson, G.S.Defect contributions to the heat capacities and stabilities of some chain, ring, and sheet silicates, with implications for mantle minerals.American Mineralogist, Vol. 102, pp. 2220-2229.Mantlemineralogy

Abstract: At temperatures less than ~1500 K, previously published CP data demonstrate that the heat capacities of orthoenstatite, proto-enstatite, diopside, and pseudowollastonite include primarily Debye type vibrational and anharmonic contributions, whereas the alkali chain, sheet, and ring silicates, Na2SiO3, Li2SiO3, K2SiO3, and Na2Si2O5 include a third contribution. The third contribution to CP arises from defect formation due to the mobility Na, K, Li, and O2-. The contribution becomes apparent at temperatures above 700-800 K for Na and K silicates, and above 900-1000 K for Li metasilicate. With strong thermal agitation, alkali-non-bridging oxygen (NBO) bonds are ruptured with the cations exiting their structural sites to occupy interstitial sites, thereby producing intrinsic Frenkel defects, which contribute to the CP of the alkali silicates. The magnitudes of the CP defect contributions correlate inversely with cation-oxygen bond strengths, as measured by bond dissociation energies. K-O and Na-O bond strengths are weak (239 and 257 kJ/mol) and defect contributions are large for these alkali chain, ring, and sheet silicates. The greater bond strength of Li-O (341 kJ/mol) correlates with a weaker defect contribution to the CP of Li2SiO3. Mg-O and Ca-O bonds are stronger still (394 and 464 kJ/mol) and no CP defect contributions are observed for the pyroxenes and pseudowollastonite up to ~1500 K. Above ~800 K a polymerization reaction occurs in Na2SiO3, which produces some Q3 species and free oxygen (O2- or oxide ion). The polymerization reaction annihilates an oxygen structural site so that the O2- produced must reside on non-structural sites thus producing intrinsic anionic defects. The same reactions likely occur in Na2Si2O5 and K2SiO3. Raman spectra of Na2SiO3 indicate >10% of Na+ and ~1.7% of O2- on interstitial sites at 1348 K. Ca- and Mg-bearing mantle minerals subjected to temperature greater than ~1500 K experience the destabilizing effects of disordering (Frenkel defect formation). The minerals may respond either by changing their composition or by changing phase. An abundance of Ca and Na defects in pyroxenes, for example, likely promotes production of new components (e.g., CaAl2SiO6, NaAlSi2O6) in pyroxenes. By their production, Ca and Na defect concentrations are reduced thereby stabilizing the phases. Mg-O bond dissociation and production of intrinsic Mg2+ and O2- point defects within olivine likely destabilize it and promote the phase transition to wadsleyite at the base of the upper mantle.

Nomura, R., Zhou, Y., Irifune, T.Melting phase relations in the MgSiO3-CaSiO3 system at 24 Gpa.Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, Vol. 4, pp. 34-MantleBridgmanite, perovskite

Abstract: The Earth’s lower mantle is composed of bridgmanite, ferropericlase, and CaSiO3-rich perovskite. The melting phase relations between each component are key to understanding the melting of the Earth’s lower mantle and the crystallization of the deep magma ocean. In this study, melting phase relations in the MgSiO3-CaSiO3 system were investigated at 24 GPa using a multi-anvil apparatus. The eutectic composition is (Mg,Ca)SiO3 with 81-86 mol% MgSiO3. The solidus temperature is 2600-2620 K. The solubility of CaSiO3 component into bridgmanite increases with temperature, reaching a maximum of 3-6 mol% at the solidus, and then decreases with temperature. The same trend was observed for the solubility of MgSiO3 component into CaSiO3-rich perovskite, with a maximum of 14-16 mol% at the solidus. The asymmetric regular solutions between bridgmanite and CaSiO3-rich perovskite and between MgSiO3 and CaSiO3 liquid components well reproduce the melting phase relations constrained experimentally.

Abstract: Oxygen fugacity of the mantle is a crucial thermodynamic parameter that controls such fundamental processes as planetary differentiation, mantle melting, and possible core-mantle exchange. Constraining the evolution of the redox state of the mantle is of paramount importance for understanding the chemical evolution of major terrestrial reservoirs, including the core, mantle, and atmosphere. In order to evaluate the secular evolution of the redox state of the mantle, oxygen fugacities of six komatiite systems, ranging in age from 3.48 to 2.41?Ga, were determined using high-precision partitioning data of the redox-sensitive element vanadium between liquidus olivine, chromite and komatiitic melt. The calculated oxygen fugacities range from ?0.11?±?0.30 ?FMQ log units in the 3.48?Ga Komati system to +0.43?±?0.26 ?FMQ log units in the 2.41?Ga Vetreny system. Although there is a slight hint in the data for an increase in the oxygen fugacity of the mantle between 3.48 and 2.41?Ga, these values generally overlap within their respective uncertainties; they are also largely within the range of oxygen fugacity estimates for modern MORB lavas of +0.60?±?0.30 ?FMQ log units that we obtained using the same technique. Our results are consistent with the previous findings that argued for little change in the mantle oxygen fugacity since the early Archean and indicate that the mantle had reached its nearly-present day redox state by at least 3.48?Ga.

Abstract: We present a newly developed software framework, MMA-EoS, that evaluates phase equilibria and thermodynamic properties of multicomponent systems by Gibbs energy minimization, with application to mantle petrology. The code is versatile in terms of the equation-of-state and mixing properties and allows for the computation of properties of single phases, solution phases, and multiphase aggregates. Currently, the open program distribution contains equation-of-state formulations widely used, that is, Caloric-Murnaghan, Caloric-Modified-Tait, and Birch-Murnaghan-Mie-Grüneisen-Debye models, with published databases included. Through its modular design and easily scripted database, MMA-EoS can readily be extended with new formulations of equations-of-state and changes or extensions to thermodynamic data sets. We demonstrate the application of the program by reproducing and comparing physical properties of mantle phases and assemblages with previously published work and experimental data, successively increasing complexity, up to computing phase equilibria of six-component compositions. Chemically complex systems allow us to trace the budget of minor chemical components in order to explore whether they lead to the formation of new phases or extend stability fields of existing ones. Self-consistently computed thermophysical properties for a homogeneous mantle and a mechanical mixture of slab lithologies show no discernible differences that require a heterogeneous mantle structure as has been suggested previously. Such examples illustrate how thermodynamics of mantle mineralogy can advance the study of Earth's interior.

Abstract: The Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) is a huge tectonic mélange that lies between the North China Craton and the Siberian Block. It is composed of multiple orogenic belts, continental fragments, magmatic and metamorphic rocks, suture zones and discontinuous ophiolite belts. Although the Hegenshan and Sartohay ophiolites are separated by nearly 3000 km and lie in completely different parts of the CAOB, they are remarkably similar in many respects. Both are composed mainly of serpentinized peridotite and dunite, with minor gabbro and sparse basalt. They both host significant podiform chromitites that consist of high-Al, refractory magnesiochromite with Cr#s [100Cr/(Cr+Al)] averaging >60. The Sartohay ophiolite has a zircon U-Pb age of ca. 300 Ma and has been intruded by granitic plutons of similar age, resulting in intense hydrothermal activity and the formation of gold-bearing listwanites. The age of the Hegenshan is not firmly established but is thought to have formed in the Carboniferous.Like many other ophiolites that we have investigated in other orogenic belts, the chromitites in these two bodies have abundant diamonds, as well as numerous super-reduced and crustal minerals. The diamonds are mostly, colorless to pale yellow, 200-300 ?m across and have euhedral to anhedral shapes. They all have low carbon isotopes (?14C = ?18 to ?29) and some have visible inclusions. These are accompanied by numerous super-reduced minerals such as moissanite, native elements (Fe, Cr, Si, Al, Mn), and alloys (e.g., Ni-Mn-Fe, Ni-Fe-Al, Ni-Mn-Co, Cr-Ni-Fe, Cr-Fe, Cr-Fe-Mn), as well as a wide range of oxides, sulfides and silicates. Grains of zircon are abundant in the chromitites of both ophiolites and range in age from Precambrian to Cretaceous, reflecting both incorporation of old zircons and modification of grains by hydrothermal alteration. Our investigation confirms that high-Al, refractory chromitites in these two ophiolites have the same range of exotic minerals as high-Cr metallurgical chromitites such as those in the Luobusa ophiolite of Tibet. These collections of exotic minerals in ophiolitic chromitites indicate complex, multi-stage recycling of oceanic and continental crustal material at least to the mantle transition zone, followed by uprise and emplacement of the peridotites into relatively shallow ophiolites.

Abstract: The graphite-to-diamond transformation under shock compression has been of broad scientific interest since 1961. The formation of hexagonal diamond (HD) is of particular interest because it is expected to be harder than cubic diamond and due to its use in terrestrial sciences as a marker at meteorite impact sites. However, the formation of diamond having a fully hexagonal structure continues to be questioned and remains unresolved. Using real-time (nanosecond), in situ x-ray diffraction measurements, we show unequivocally that highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, shock-compressed along the c axis to 50 GPa, transforms to highly oriented elastically strained HD with the (100)HD plane parallel to the graphite basal plane. These findings contradict recent molecular dynamics simulation results for the shock-induced graphite-to-diamond transformation and provide a benchmark for future theoretical simulations. Additionally, our results show that an earlier report of HD forming only above 170 GPa for shocked pyrolytic graphite may lead to incorrect interpretations of meteorite impact events.

Wong, J., Verdel, C., Allen, C.M.Trace element compositions of sapphire and ruby from the eastern Australian gemstone belt.Mineralogical Magazine, Vol. 81, 6, pp. 1551-1576.Australiamineralogy

Abstract: View at publisher (open access) Abstract Significant uncertainty surrounds the processes involved in the formation of basalt-hosted corundum, particularly the role that the mantle plays in corundum generation. Some previous studies have suggested that trace-element ratios (namely, Cr/Ga and Ga/Mg) are useful for distinguishing two types of corundum: “magmatic” and “metamorphic,” designations that include mantle and crustal processes. However, recent studies, including this one, have discovered transitional groups between these end-members that are difficult to classify. We used LA-ICP-MS to measure trace-element concentrations in sapphire and ruby crystals from eight alluvial deposits that span a significant length of the eastern Australian gemstone belt. Additionally, we collected LA-ICP-MS U-Pb and trace-element data from zircon megacrysts at Weldborough, Tasmania, which is also within the gemstone belt. Our sapphire and ruby results reveal a continuum in trace-element compositions, a finding that raises questions about previous classifications that ascribe corundum from basalt-hosted gemfields to either “magmatic” or “metamorphic” sources. The spatial association of basalt-related gemfields in eastern Australia with a long-lived convergent margin suggests a link between corundum formation and Al-enrichment of the mantle wedge during periods of subduction.

Abstract: Seismic heterogeneities in the Earth's lower mantle have been attributed to thermal and/or chemical variations of constituent minerals. Bridgmanite is the most abundant lower?mantle mineral and contains Fe and Al in its structure. Knowing the effect of Fe on compressional and shear wave velocities (VP, VS) and density of bridgmanite at relevant pressure?temperature conditions can help to understand seismic heterogeneities in the region. However, experimental studies on both VP and VS of Fe?bearing bridgmanite have been limited to pressures below 40 GPa. In this study, VP and VS of Fe?bearing bridgmanite were measured up to 70 GPa in the diamond anvil cell. We observed drastic softening of VP by ~6(±1)% at 42.6-58 GPa and increased VS at pressures above 40 GPa. We interpret these observations as due to a spin transition of Fe3+. These observations are different to previous views on the effect of Fe on seismic velocities of bridgmanite. We propose that the abnormal sound velocities of Fe?bearing bridgmanite could help to explain the seismically observed low correlation between VP and VS in the mid?lower mantle. Our results challenge existing models of Fe enrichment to explain the origin of Large Low Shear Velocity provinces in the lowermost mantle.

Abstract: The chemical diversity of minerals can be analysed in terms of the concept of mineral systems, defined by the set of chemical elements essential for the definition of a mineral species. Only species-defining elements are considered as essential. According to this approach, all minerals are classified into ten types of mineral systems with the number of essential components ranging from 1 to 10. For all the minerals known today, only 70 chemical elements act as essential species-defining constituents. The number of minerals of different chemical elements are calculated as follows (number of mineral species is given in parentheses): oxygen (4138), hydrogen (2814), silicon (1479), calcium (1182), sulfur (1064), aluminum (989), sodium (953), iron (953), copper (643), arsenic (601), phosphorus (599), and magnesium (576). The distribution of the majority of the species-defining elements among mineral systems submits to a normal distribution. Using the concept of mineral systems, different geological objects can be compared from the viewpoint of their mineral diversity as exemplified by alkaline massifs (Khibiny, Lovozero, Russia, and Mont Saint-Hilaire, Canada), evaporite deposits (Inder, Kazakhstan, and Searles Lake, USA) and fumaroles at active volcanoes (Tolbachik, Kamchatka, Russia, and Vulcano, Sicily, Italy). The concept of mineral systems can be applied to mineral evolution overall by calculating the mean number of elements for the first three stages in the evolution of minerals as proposed by R.M. Hazen and co-authors in 2008, plus a fourth period corresponding to Hazen's stages 4-10, as follows: 2.08?±?0.45 (I: ur-minerals); 2.68?±?0.13 (II: minerals of chondritic meteorites); 3.86?±?0.07 (III: Hadean minerals); 4.50?±?1.47 (IV: post-Hadean minerals).

Abstract: Maohokite, a post?spinel polymorph of MgFe2O4, was found in shocked gneiss from the Xiuyan crater in China. Maohokite in shocked gneiss coexists with diamond, reidite, TiO2?II, as well as diaplectic glasses of quartz and feldspar. Maohokite occurs as nano?sized crystallites. The empirical formula is (Mg0.62Fe0.35Mn0.03)2+Fe3+2O4. In situ synchrotron X?ray microdiffraction established maohokite to be orthorhombic with the CaFe2O4?type structure. The cell parameters are a = 8.907 (1) Å, b = 9.937(8) Å, c = 2.981(1) Å; V = 263.8 (3) Å3; space group Pnma. The calculated density of maohokite is 5.33 g cm?3. Maohokite was formed from subsolidus decomposition of ankerite Ca(Fe2+,Mg)(CO3)2 via a self?oxidation?reduction reaction at impact pressure and temperature of 25-45 GPa and 800-900 °C. The formation of maohokite provides a unique example for decomposition of Fe?Mg carbonate under shock?induced high pressure and high temperature. The mineral and its name have been approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA 2017?047). The mineral was named maohokite after Hokwang Mao, a staff scientist at the Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington, for his great contribution to high pressure research.

Abstract: In the present study, four samples of natural melilites were characterized using electron microprobe analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy, and their thermodynamic properties were measured with a high-temperature heat-flux Tian-Calvet microcalorimeter. The enthalpies of formation from the elements were determined to be: -3796.3 ± 4.1 kJ/mol for Ca1.8Na0.2(Mg0.7Al0.2Fe2+0.1?)Si2O7, -3753.6 ± 5.2 kJ/mol for Ca1.6Na0.4(Mg0.5Al0.4Fe2+0.1?)Si2O7, -3736.4 ± 3.7 kJ/mol for Ca1.6Na0.4(Mg0.4Al0.4Fe2+0.2?)Si2O7, and -3929.2 ± 3.8 kJ/mol for Ca2(Mg0.4Al0.6)[Si1.4Al0.6O7]. Using the obtained formation enthalpies and estimated entropies, the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of these melilites were calculated. Finally, the enthalpies of the formation of the end-members of the isomorphic åkermanite-gehlenite and åkermanite-alumoåkermanite series were derived. The obtained thermodynamic properties of melilites of different compositions can be used for quantitative modeling of formation conditions of these minerals in related geological and industrial processes.

Abstract: The new mineral species carmeltazite, ideally ZrAl2Ti4O11, was discovered in pockets of trapped melt interstitial to, or included in, corundum xenocrysts from the Cretaceous Mt Carmel volcanics of northern Israel, associated with corundum, tistarite, anorthite, osbornite, an unnamed REE (Rare Earth Element) phase, in a Ca-Mg-Al-Si-O glass. In reflected light, carmeltazite is weakly to moderately bireflectant and weakly pleochroic from dark brown to dark green. Internal reflections are absent. Under crossed polars, the mineral is anisotropic, without characteristic rotation tints. Reflectance values for the four COM wavelengths (Rmin, Rmax (%) (? in nm)) are: 21.8, 22.9 (471.1); 21.0, 21.6 (548.3), 19.9, 20.7 (586.6); and 18.5, 19.8 (652.3). Electron microprobe analysis (average of eight spot analyses) gave, on the basis of 11 oxygen atoms per formula unit and assuming all Ti and Sc as trivalent, the chemical formula (Ti3+3.60Al1.89Zr1.04Mg0.24Si0.13Sc0.06Ca0.05Y0.02Hf0.01)?=7.04O11. The simplified formula is ZrAl2Ti4O11, which requires ZrO2 24.03, Al2O3 19.88, and Ti2O3 56.09, totaling 100.00 wt %. The main diffraction lines, corresponding to multiple hkl indices, are (d in Å (relative visual intensity)): 5.04 (65), 4.09 (60), 2.961 (100), 2.885 (40), and 2.047 (60). The crystal structure study revealed carmeltazite to be orthorhombic, space group Pnma, with unit-cell parameters a = 14.0951 (9), b = 5.8123 (4), c = 10.0848 (7) Å, V = 826.2 (1) Å3, and Z = 4. The crystal structure was refined to a final R1 = 0.0216 for 1165 observed reflections with Fo > 4?(Fo). Carmeltazite exhibits a structural arrangement similar to that observed in a defective spinel structure. The name carmeltazite derives from Mt Carmel (“CARMEL”) and from the dominant metals present in the mineral, i.e., Titanium, Aluminum and Zirconium (“TAZ”). The mineral and its name have been approved by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (2018-103).

Abstract: A series of polycrystalline diamond grains were found within the Valizhgen Peninsula in Koryakia, northern Kamchatka, Russia. A grain from the Aynyn River area is studied in detail with TEM. Diamond crystallites, 2-40 ?m in size are twinned and have high dislocation density. They are cemented with tilleyite Ca5(Si2O7)(CO3)2, SiC, Fe-Ni-Mn-Cr silicides, native silicon, graphite, calcite, and amorphous material. Among SiC grains, three polymorphs were discriminated: hexagonal 4H and 6H and cubic C3 (?-SiC). Silicides have variable stoichiometry with (Fe,Ni,Mn,Cr)/Si = 0.505-1.925. Native silicon is an open-framework allotrope of silicon S24, which has been observed, to date, as a synthetic phase only; this is a new natural mineral phase. Three types of amorphous material were distinguished: a Ca-Si-C-O material, similar in composition to tilleyite; amorphous carbon in contact with diamond, which includes particles of crystalline graphite; and amorphous SiO2. No regularity in the distribution of the amorphous material was observed. In the studied aggregate, diamond crystallites and moissanite are intensively twinned, which is characteristic for these minerals formed by gas phase condensation or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. The synthetic analogs of all other cementing compounds (?-SiC, silicides, and native silicon) are typical products of CVD processes. This confirms the earlier suggested CVD mechanism for the formation of Avacha diamond aggregates. Both Avacha and Aynyn diamond aggregates are related not to "classic" diamond locations within stable cratons, but to areas of active and Holocene volcanic belts. The studied diamond aggregates from Aynyn and Avacha, by their mineralogical features and by their origin during the course of volcanic eruptions via a gas phase condensation or CVD mechanism, may be considered a new variety of polycrystalline diamond and may be called "kamchatite". Kamchatite extends the number of unusual diamond localities. It increases the potential sources of diamond and indicates the polygenetic character of diamond.

Hazen, R.M.An evolutionary system of mineralogy: proposal for a classification of planetary materials based on natural kind of clustering. Not specific to diamondAmerican Mineralogist, Vol. 104, pp. 810-816.Globalmineralogy

Abstract: Minerals reveal the nature of the co-evolving geosphere and biosphere through billions of years of Earth history. Mineral classification systems have the potential to elucidate this rich evolutionary story; however, the present mineral taxonomy, based as it is on idealized major element chemistry and crystal structure, lacks a temporal aspect, and thus cannot reflect planetary evolution. A complementary evolutionary system of mineralogy based on the quantitative recognition of “natural kind clustering” for a wide range of condensed planetary materials with different paragenetic origins has the potential to amplify, though not supersede, the present classification system.

Abstract: The lower mantle encompasses the largest region of the Earth's interior and is mainly composed of the perovskite?structured mineral (Mg,Fe,Al)(Al,Si)O3 bridgmanite. Its properties, therefore, control both the diffusive transport of elements and solid state flow in the lower mantle, which will be strongly influenced by point defects. We have identified and quantified defects in bridgmanite that arise from the replacement of silicon by aluminum and result in the creation of a vacant oxygen site. These oxygen defects are also found to form clusters in the structure, which in other perovskite structured minerals have been shown to strongly affect physical properties. As defect formation and ordering is dependent on composition and pressure, strong variations in physical properties may be expected within the upper 300 km of the lower mantle.

Xie, L. , Yoneda, A., Andraught, D.Formation of bridgmanite-enriched layer at the top lower-mantle during magma ocean solificiation.Nature Communications, Vol. 11, pp. 1-10.Mantlebridgmanite

Abstract: Thermochemical heterogeneities detected today in the Earth’s mantle could arise from ongoing partial melting in different mantle regions. A major open question, however, is the level of chemical stratification inherited from an early magma-ocean (MO) solidification. Here we show that the MO crystallized homogeneously in the deep mantle, but with chemical fractionation at depths around 1000?km and in the upper mantle. Our arguments are based on accurate measurements of the viscosity of melts with forsterite, enstatite and diopside compositions up to ~30?GPa and more than 3000?K at synchrotron X-ray facilities. Fractional solidification would induce the formation of a bridgmanite-enriched layer at ~1000?km depth. This layer may have resisted to mantle mixing by convection and cause the reported viscosity peak and anomalous dynamic impedance. On the other hand, fractional solidification in the upper mantle would have favored the formation of the first crust.

Abstract: The last decade has seen the publication of a number of new and highly pertinent studies on the composition of the Earth's lower mantle, leading to a better understanding of the Deep Earth. A series of new lower-mantle minerals were found, having formed under natural conditions and received the following names: bridgmanite, jeffbenite, breyite, and ellinaite. Some other, as yet, unnamed oxides, phosphates, and fluorides were also discovered for the first time. Among the new mineral phases, of particular interest are cubic nitrogen and ice-VII. Their presence demonstrates a significant role of both nitrogen and of water in the Deep Earth. This new data allows for creation of a principal model for the composition of the Earth's lower mantle. By various evidences, it differs greatly to that of the upper mantle composition, and is heterogeneous.

Abstract: Recent progress in theoretical mineral physics based on the ab initio quantum mechanical computation method has been dramatic in conjunction with the rapid advancement of computer technologies. It is now possible to predict stability, elasticity, and transport properties of complex minerals quantitatively with uncertainties that are comparable to or even smaller than those attached in experimental data. These calculations under in situ high-pressure (P) and high-temperature conditions are of particular interest because they allow us to construct a priori mineralogical models of the deep Earth. In this article, we briefly review recent progress in studying high-P phase relations, elasticity, thermal conductivity, and rheological properties of lower mantle minerals including silicates, oxides, and some hydrous phases. Our analyses indicate that the pyrolitic composition can describe Earth's properties quite well in terms of density and P- and S-wave velocity. Computations also suggest some new hydrous compounds that could persist up to the deepest mantle and that the postperovskite phase boundary is the boundary of not only the mineralogy but also the thermal conductivity. 1) The ab initio method is a strong tool to investigate physical properties of minerals under high pressure and high temperature. 2) Calculated thermoelasticity indicates that the pyrolytic composition is representative to the chemistry of Earth's lower mantle. 3) Simulations predict new dense hydrous phases stable in the whole lower mantle pressure and temperature condition. 4) Calculated lattice thermal conductivity suggests a heat flow across the core mantle boundary no greater than 10 TW.

Abstract: Phase relations in the MgSiO3-MgTiO3 and Mg3Al2Si3O12-MgTiO3 systems were studied at 10-24 GPa and 1600 °C using a high-pressure Kawai-type multianvil apparatus. We investigated the full range of starting compositions for the enstatite-geikielite system to derive a P-X phase diagram and synthesize titanium-bearing phases, such as olivine/wadsleyite, rutile, pyroxene, MgTiSi2O7 weberite, bridgmanite and MST-bridgmanite in a wide pressure range. Olivine and pyroxene in run products are characterized by a low titanium content (<0.6 and <0.3 wt% TiO2, respectively) whereas the content of TiO2 in wadsleyite reaches 2 wt% at 12 GPa. The concentration of Ti in MgTiSi2O7 weberite decreases with pressure from 52 wt% TiO2 at 14 GPa to 43 wt% TiO2 at 18 GPa. Two perovskite-type structures (MgSiO3 bridgmanite and Mg(Si,Ti)O3 bridgmanite) were detected in the studied system. MgSiO3 bridgmanite (Brd) is formed at a pressure of >20 GPa and characterized by significant titanium solubility (up to 13 wt% TiO2 at 24 GPa). Mg(Si,Ti)O3 perovskite is formed at a pressure of >17 GPa. The concentration of TiO2 in this phase varies from 29 wt% to 49 wt%. It was found that addition of Ti to the system moves the boundaries of Ol/Wad phase transformations to lower pressures. Addition of Al to the starting material allows us to simulate the composition of natural Ti-rich garnets and bridgmanites. It is important to note that garnet in the Prp-Gkl system is stable throughout a wide pressure range (10-24 GPa). Al incorporation does not affect the distribution of titanium between two types of bridgmanite. It is shown that high contents of Ti stabilize bridgmanite-like compounds at considerably lower pressure than that at the lower mantle/transition zone boundary. Our experiments simulate the composition of natural Ti-rich primary garnet found in eclogite from the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) terrane.

Abstract: To understand the effects of H2O on the mineral phases forming under the pressure-temperature conditions of the lower mantle, we have conducted laser-heated diamond-anvil cell experiments on hydrous ringwoodite (Mg2SiO4 with 1.1 wt% H2O) at pressures between 29 and 59 GPa and temperatures between 1200 and 2400 K. Our results show that hydrous ringwoodite (hRw) converts to crystalline dense hydrous silica, stishovite (Stv) or CaCl2-type SiO2 (mStv), containing 1 wt% H2O together with Brd and MgO at the pressure-temperature conditions expected for shallow lower-mantle depths between approximately 660 to 1600 km. Considering the lack of sign for melting in our experiments, our preferred interpretation of the observation is that Brd partially breaks down to dense hydrous silica and periclase (Pc), forming the phase assembly Brd + Pc + Stv. The results may provide an explanation for the enigmatic coexistence of Stv and Fp inclusions in lower-mantle diamonds.

Abstract: The advancement of science depends upon developing classification protocols that systematize natural objects and phenomena into “natural kinds”—categorizations that are conjectured to represent genuine divisions in nature by virtue of playing central roles in the articulation of successful scientific theories. In the physical sciences, theoretically powerful classification systems, such as the periodic table, are typically time independent. Similarly, the standard classification of mineral species by the International Mineralogical Association’s Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature, and Classification relies on idealized chemical composition and crystal structure, which are time-independent attributes selected on the basis of theoretical considerations from chemical theory and solid-state physics. However, when considering mineral kinds in the historical context of planetary evolution, a different, time-dependent classification scheme is warranted. We propose an "evolutionary" system of mineral classification based on recognition of the role played by minerals in the origin and development of planetary systems. Lacking a comprehensive theory of chemical evolution capable of explaining the time-dependent pattern of chemical complexification exhibited by our universe, we recommend a bootstrapping approach to mineral classification based on observations of geological field studies, astronomical observations, laboratory experiments, and analyses of natural samples and their environments. This approach holds the potential to elucidate underlying universal principles of cosmic chemical complexification.

Abstract: Mineral identification is a basic skill in geological studies, and is useful for characterizing rocks and tracing diagenesis and mineralization processes. Traditional methods of observation under a microscope are subject to many complex factors such as the limitations of resolution and magnification, so they are poor in qualitative analysis, and inefficient. With the expansion of geological prospecting, it is necessary to provide information for all minerals, pores and trace elements in rocks. So, mineral identification has started to rely on advanced microbeam mineral analysis techniques. This paper summarizes the common mineral analysis techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Automated mineralogy (AM) systems. These microbeam technologies now approach a semi-automated analysis process, and most of these methods mainly detect the chemical composition of the mineral, rather than the mineral's optical characteristics which are the most basic properties of minerals. Therefore, this study proposes a method that can use mineral's optical features for automatic classification, mineral recognition based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and face recognition technology. The feasibility, research status and outlook of this method are also discussed. The proposed method uses convolution neural network technology to automatically extract the optical characteristics of minerals for mineral identification. Successful application of these techniques will have profound application value by reducing the cost and time needed to process and identify minerals.

Abstract: Heavy minerals are typically rare but important components of siliciclastic sediments and rocks. Their abundance, proportions, and variability carry valuable information on source rocks, climatic, environmental and transport conditions between source to sink, and diagenetic processes. They are important for practical purposes such as prospecting for mineral resources or the correlation and interpretation of geologic reservoirs. Despite the extensive use of heavy mineral analysis in sedimentary petrography and quite diverse methods for quantifying heavy mineral assemblages, there has never been a systematic comparison of results obtained by different methods and/or operators. This study provides the first interlaboratory test of heavy mineral analysis. Two synthetic heavy mineral samples were prepared with considerably contrasting compositions intended to resemble natural samples. The contributors were requested to provide (i) metadata describing methods, measurement conditions and experience of the operators and (ii) results tables with mineral species and grain counts. One hundred thirty analyses of the two samples were performed by 67 contributors, encompassing both classical microscopic analyses and data obtained by emerging automated techniques based on electron-beam chemical analysis or Raman spectroscopy. Because relatively low numbers of mineral counts (N) are typical for optical analyses while automated techniques allow for high N, the results vary considerably with respect to the Poisson uncertainty of the counting statistics. Therefore, standard methods used in evaluation of round robin tests are not feasible. In our case the ‘true’ compositions of the test samples are not known. Three methods have been applied to determine possible reference values: (i) the initially measured weight percentages, (ii) calculation of grain percentages using estimates of grain volumes and densities, and (iii) the best-match average calculated from the most reliable analyses following multiple, pragmatic and robust criteria. The range of these three values is taken as best approximation of the ‘true’ composition. The reported grain percentages were evaluated according to (i) their overall scatter relative to the most likely composition, (ii) the number of identified components that were part of the test samples, (iii) the total amount of mistakenly identified mineral grains that were actually not added to the samples, and (iv) the number of major components, which match the reference values with 95% confidence. Results indicate that the overall comparability of the analyses is reasonable. However, there are several issues with respect to methods and/or operators. Optical methods yield the poorest results with respect to the scatter of the data. This, however, is not considered inherent to the method as demonstrated by a significant number of optical analyses fulfilling the criteria for the best-match average. Training of the operators is thus considered paramount for optical analyses. Electron-beam methods yield satisfactory results, but problems in the identification of polymorphs and the discrimination of chain silicates are evident. Labs refining their electron-beam results by optical analysis practically tackle this issue. Raman methods yield the best results as indicated by the highest number of major components correctly quantified with 95% confidence and the fact that all laboratories and operators fulfil the criteria for the best-match average. However, a number of problems must be solved before the full potential of the automated high-throughput techniques in heavy mineral analysis can be achieved.

Abstract: Photo?induced force microscopy (PiFM) is a new?frontier technique that combines the advantages of atomic force microscopy with infrared spectroscopy and allows for the simultaneous acquisition of 3D topographic data with molecular chemical information at high spatial (~ 5 nm) and spectral (~ 1 cm?1) resolution at the nanoscale. This non?destructive technique is time efficient as it requires only conventional mirror?polishing and has fast mapping rates on the order of a few minutes that allow the study of dynamic processes via time series. Here, we review the method’s historical development, working principle, data acquisition, evaluation, and provide a comparison with traditional geochemical methods. We review PiFM studies in the areas of materials science, chemistry, and biology. In addition, we provide the first applications for geochemical samples including the visualisation of faint growth zonation in zircons, the identification of fluid speciation in high?pressure experimental samples, and of nanoscale organic phases in biominerals. We demonstrate that PiFM analysis is a time? and cost?efficient technique combining high?resolution surface imaging with molecular chemical information at the nanoscale and, thus, complements and expands traditional geochemical methods.

Wheeler, J.A unifying basis for the interplay of stress and chemical processes in the Earth: support from diverse experiments.Contributions to mineralogy and Petrology, Vol. 175, 27p. PdfMantlemineralogy, geochemistry

Abstract: The interplay between stress and chemical processes is a fundamental aspect of how rocks evolve, relevant for understanding fracturing due to metamorphic volume change, deformation by pressure solution and diffusion creep, and the effects of stress on mineral reactions in crust and mantle. There is no agreed microscale theory for how stress and chemistry interact, so here I review support from eight different types of the experiment for a relationship between stress and chemistry which is specific to individual interfaces: (chemical potential)?=?(Helmholtz free energy)?+?(normal stress at interface)?×?(molar volume). The experiments encompass temperatures from -100 to 1300 degrees C and pressures from 1 bar to 1.8 GPa. The equation applies to boundaries with fluid and to incoherent solid-solid boundaries. It is broadly in accord with experiments that describe the behaviours of free and stressed crystal faces next to solutions, that document flow laws for pressure solution and diffusion creep, that address polymorphic transformations under stress, and that investigate volume changes in solid-state reactions. The accord is not in all cases quantitative, but the equation is still used to assist the explanation. An implication is that the chemical potential varies depending on the interface, so there is no unique driving force for reaction in stressed systems. Instead, the overall evolution will be determined by combinations of reaction pathways and kinetic factors. The equation described here should be a foundation for grain-scale models, which are a prerequisite for predicting larger scale Earth behaviour when stress and chemical processes interact. It is relevant for all depths in the Earth from the uppermost crust (pressure solution in basin compaction, creep on faults), reactive fluid flow systems (serpentinisation), the deeper crust (orogenic metamorphism), the upper mantle (diffusion creep), the transition zone (phase changes in stressed subducting slabs) to the lower mantle and core mantle boundary (diffusion creep).

Abstract: The isotopic compositions of iron in major mantle minerals may record chemical exchange between deep-Earth reservoirs as a result of early differentiation and ongoing plate tectonics processes. Bridgmanite (Bdg), the most abundant mineral in the Earth’s lower mantle, can incorporate not only Al but also Fe with different oxidation states and spin states, which in turn can influence the distribution of Fe isotopes between Bdg and ferropericlase (Fp) and between the lower mantle and the core. In this study, we combined first-principles calculations with high-pressure nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering measurements to evaluate the effects of Fe site occupancy, valence, and spin states at lower-mantle conditions on the reduced Fe partition function ratio (?-factor) of Bdg. Our results show that the spin transition of octahedral-site (B-site) Fe3+ in Bdg under mid-lower-mantle conditions generates a +0.09‰ increase in its ?-factor, which is the most significant effect compared to Fe site occupancy and valence. Fe2+-bearing Bdg varieties have smaller ?-factors relative to Fe3+-bearing varieties, especially those containing B-site Fe3+. Our models suggest that Fe isotopic fractionation between Bdg and Fp is only significant in the lowermost mantle due to the occurrence of low-spin Fe2+ in Fp. Assuming early segregation of an iron core from a deep magma ocean, we find that neither core formation nor magma ocean crystallization would have resulted in resolvable Fe isotope fractionation. In contrast, Fe isotopic fractionation between low-spin Fe3+-bearing Bdg/Fe2+-bearing Fp and metallic iron at the core-mantle boundary may have enriched the lowermost mantle in heavy Fe isotopes by up to +0.20‰.

Mentions Khibiny, Lovozero, Mount St. HilaireGeology of Ore Deposits, Vol. 62, 8, pp. 704-718. pdfRussia, Canada, QuebecMineralogy

Abstract: The chemical diversity of minerals can be analyzed in terms of the concept of mineral systems based on the set of chemical elements that are essential for defining a mineral species. Only species-defining elements are considered to be essential. According to this approach, all minerals are classified into ten types of mineral systems with the number of essential components ranging from 1 to 10. For all known minerals, only 70 chemical elements act as essential species-defining constituents. Using this concept of mineral systems, various geological objects may be compared from the viewpoint of their mineral diversity: for example, alkali massifs (Khibiny and Lovozero in Russia; Mont Saint Hilaire in Canada), evaporite deposits (Inder in Kazakhstan and Searles Lake in the United States), fumaroles of active volcanoes (Tolbachik in Kamchatka and Vulcano in Sicily, Italy), and hydrothermal deposits (Otto Mountain in the United States and El Dragon in Bolivia). Correlations between chemical and structural complexities of the minerals were analyzed using a total of 5240 datasets on their chemical compositions and 3989 datasets on their crystal structures. The statistical analysis yields strong and positive correlations (R2 > 0.95) between chemical and structural complexities and the number of different chemical elements in a mineral. The analysis of relationships between chemical and structural complexities provides strong evidence for the overall trend of a greater structural complexity at a higher chemical complexity. Following R. Hazen, four groups of minerals representing four mineral evolution stages have been considered: (I) “Ur-minerals,” (II) minerals from chondrite meteorites, (III) Hadean minerals, and (IV) contemporary minerals. According to the obtained data, the number of species-defining elements in minerals and their average contents increase regularly and significantly from stage I to stage IV. The analyzed average chemical and structural complexities in these four groups demonstrate that both are gradually increasing in the course of mineral evolution. The increasing complexity follows an overall trend: the more complex minerals were formed in the course of geological time, without replacing the simpler ones. The observed correlations between chemical and structural complexities understood in terms of the Shannon information suggest that chemical differentiation is the major force that drives the increase of mineral complexity over the course of geological time.

Mentions Earth's magmatismACS Earth Space Chemistry, Vol. 5, pp. 2124-2130.Mantlebridgmanite

Abstract: As the most abundant material of rocky planets, high-pressure polymorphs of iron- and aluminum-bearing magnesium silicates have long been sought by both observations and experiments. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that iron oxides form (FeO)m(Fe2O3)n homologous series above ?10 GPa according to laboratory high-pressure experiments. Here, we report a new high-pressure iron-magnesium silicate, recently approved by the International Mineralogical Association as a new mineral (No. 2020-086) and named elgoresyite, in a shock-induced melt vein of the Suizhou L6 chondrite with a chemistry of (Mg,Fe)5Si2O9. The crystal structure of this new silicate is the same as the iron oxide Fe7O9, strongly suggesting that silicates also form ((Mg,Fe)O)m + n(SiO2)n series that are isostructural to iron oxides via (Mg2+,Fe2+) + Si4+ = 2Fe3+ substitution. To test this hypothesis, the phase relationships of the silicates and iron oxides should be further investigated at higher temperature conditions. Newly found iron-magnesium silicate is a potential constituent mineral in rocky planets with relatively high MgO + FeO content.

Abstract: The vibrational and thermodynamic properties of minerals are key to understanding the phase stability and the thermal structure of the Earth’s mantle. In this study, we modeled hydrous iron-bearing bridgmanite (Brg) and post-perovskite (PPv) with different [Fe3+-H] defect configurations using first-principles calculations combined with quasi-harmonic approximations (QHA). Fe3+-H configurations can be vibrationally stable in Brg and PPv; the site occupancy of this defect will strongly affect its thermodynamic properties and particularly its response to pressure. The presence of Fe3+-H introduces distinctive high-frequency vibrations to the crystal. The frequency of these peaks is configuration dependence. Of the two defect configurations, [Fe?Si+OH?] makes large effects on the thermodynamic properties of Brg and PPv, whereas [V??Mg+Fe?Mg+OH?] has negligible effects. With an expected lower mantle water concentrations of <1000 wt. ppm the effect of Fe3+-H clusters on properties such as heat capacity and thermal expansion is negligible, but the effect on the Grüneisen parameter ? can be significant (~1.2%). This may imply that even a small amount of water may affect the anharmonicity of Fe3+-bearing MgSiO3 in lower mantle conditions and that when calculating the adiabaticity of the mantle, water concentrations need to be considered.

Abstract: Mineral chemistry analysis is a valuable tool in several phases of mineralogy and mineral prospecting studies. This type of analysis can point out relevant information, such as concentration of the chemical element of interest in the analyzed phase and, thus, the predisposition of an area for a given commodity. Due to this, considerable amount of data has been generated, especially with the use of electron probe micro-analyzers (EPMA), either in research for academic purposes or in a typical prospecting campaign in the mineral industry. We have identified an efficiency gap when manually processing and analyzing mineral chemistry data, and thus, we envisage this research niche could benefit from the versatility brought by machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we present Qmin, an application that assists in increasing the efficiency of mineral chemistry data processing and analysis stages through automated routines. Our code benefits from a hierarchical structure of classifiers and regressors trained by a Random Forest algorithm developed on a filtered training database extracted from the GEOROC (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) repository, maintained by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry. To test the robustness of our application, we applied a blind test with more than 11,000 mineral chemistry analyses compiled for diamond prospecting within the scope of the Diamante Brasil Project of the Geological Survey of Brazil. The blind test yielded a balanced classifier accuracy of ca. 99% for the minerals known by Qmin. Therefore, we highlight the potential of machine learning techniques in assisting the processing and analysis of mineral chemistry data.

Abstract: Phase D is proposed to be the most important hydrous phase at the upper part of the lower mantle, and it has been shown to coexist with bridgmanite (Brg), the most abundant mineral and main host for Al2O3 in the lower mantle. The concentration of Al in Phase D could significantly increase the thermal stability field of Phase D, therefore, partitioning of Al between Brg and Phase D is of particular importance to constrain water distribution in the deep mantle. Here, we performed high P-T experiments in MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system to investigate the partitioning of Al between Brg and Phase D up to 32 GPa and 1350 °C. Our results indicated that Al distributes strongly into Phase D relative to Brg and the partition coefficient slightly decreases with increasing temperature. Al-bearing Phase D exhibits a very high thermal stability region, but it completely decomposed around 28 GPa and 1350 °C, at which point Brg coexisted with a large amount of melt. The depth?~?850 km (28 GPa) is thus proposed to be the second choke point for hydrous minerals. This may shed new lights on several important geophysical observations in subduction zones.

Abstract: Calcium silicate perovskite, CaSiO3, is arguably the most geochemically important phase in the lower mantle, because it concentrates elements that are incompatible in the upper mantle, including the heat-generating elements thorium and uranium, which have half-lives longer than the geologic history of Earth. We report CaSiO3-perovskite as an approved mineral (IMA2020-012a) with the name davemaoite. The natural specimen of davemaoite proves the existence of compositional heterogeneity within the lower mantle. Our observations indicate that davemaoite also hosts potassium in addition to uranium and thorium in its structure. Hence, the regional and global abundances of davemaoite influence the heat budget of the deep mantle, where the mineral is thermodynamically stable.

Abstract: The orthorhombic phase of Si-doped Fe carbide is synthesized at high-pressures and temperatures using laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LHDAC), followed by its characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Room-temperature high-pressure XRD measurements are carried out up to about 104 GPa for the determination of the equation of state parameters. No evidence of structural transition is observed. Pressure evolution of isothermal bulk modulus shows elastic stiffening around 28 GPa followed by softening around 78 GPa, which are possibly related to magnetic transitions driven by pressure-induced anisotropic strain in the unit cell. Extrapolation of the density profile of our study to the inner core conditions agrees very well with PREM data with an uncertainty of about 3-4%. Our estimated bulk modulus value at core pressures seems to be 8-9% less than that of PREM data and is best matched in comparison to other reported values.

Abstract: The Earth has been releasing vast amounts of heat from deep Earth's interior to the surface since its formation, which primarily drives mantle convection and a number of tectonic activities. In this heat transport process the core-mantle boundary where hot molten core is in direct contact with solid-state mantle minerals has played an essential role to transfer thermal energies of the core to the overlying mantle. Although the dominant heat transfer mechanisms at the lowermost mantle is believed to be both conduction and radiation of the primary lowermost mantle mineral, bridgmanite, the radiative thermal conductivity of bridgmanite has so far been poorly constrained. Here we revealed the radiative thermal conductivity of bridgmanite at core-mantle boundary is substantially high approaching to ?5.3±1.2 W/mK based on newly established optical absorption measurement of single-crystal bridgmanite performed in-situ under corresponding deep lower mantle conditions. We found the bulk thermal conductivity at core-mantle boundary becomes ?1.5 times higher than the conventionally assumed value, which supports higher heat flow from core, hence more vigorous mantle convection than expected. Results suggest the mantle is much more efficiently cooled, which would ultimately weaken many tectonic activities driven by the mantle convection more rapidly than expected from conventionally believed thermal conduction behavior.

Abstract: We clarified the phase relations of MgSiO3-Al2O3-H2O system under the uppermost lower-mantle conditions and the partitioning of aluminum and hydrogen between bridgmanite and hydrous minerals of hydrous phase ?-H solid solution and aluminous hydrous phase D. Bridgmanite coexists with hydrous phase D and ?-H at 25-28 GPa and 1000-1100 °C. Hydrous phase D becomes unstable above 1200 °C, while hydrous phase ?-H remains up to 1400 °C in the pressure range. Aluminum is strongly partitioned to both aluminous phases D and ?-H resulting in alumina depletion in bridgmanite. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicates that bridgmanite contains undetectable water when coexisting with these hydrous phases, showing strong hydrogen partitioning into hydrous phases, such as phases D and ?-H. The depletion of alumina in bridgmanite modified the phase relations significantly in hydrated slabs descending into the lower mantle, i.e., the pressures of the garnet-bridgmanite and post-perovskite transformations are lowered under the wet conditions where these hydrous phases coexist. The dry nature of bridgmanite coexisting with hydrous phases suggests that the major water carriers in the lower mantle are hydrous phases. Bridgmanite cannot be the water reservoir at least in the upper part of the lower mantle and could provide dry rheology of the wet slabs in the lower mantle.

Abstract: The Earth’s mantle is 1,800 miles deep and accounts for around 84 percent of the planet’s volume. The stratum of largely solid rock, on the other hand, is characterized by high heat and crushing pressure, making it a challenge to be analyzed by geologists. Instead, they investigate the minerals and rocks that are brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions. According to a research study published last week in the journal Science, a team of scientists has identified a new mineral trapped within a diamond. The mineral was given the name davemaoite by the researchers after the well-known geophysicist Ho-Kwang (Dave) Mao. The mineral, calcium silicate perovskite, formed more than 400 miles down and gives geologists a view into the lower mantle’s chemical makeup, according to Live Science’s Harry Baker. These tiny black specks found in an African mine diamond are being hailed as a vital component of the deep earth, uncovered in nature for the first time after decades of seeking.
