SDLRC - Mineral Chemistry


The Sheahan Diamond Literature Reference Compilation - Scientific and Media Articles based on Major Keyword - Mineral Chemistry
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.

If you thought articles tagged as Mineralogy were a black hole best avoided, then you know that you must never click on the section for scientific articles tagged as Mineral Chemistry. Many of these articles were written by hyper-specialized academics, some of whom are evil enough to embed the word "diamond" in the title in a desperate ploy to get at least one non-AI entity to read it. But most of the writers are honest and do give us warning titles such as "Crystallographic preferred orientation of wadsleyite and ringwoodite: effects of phase transformation and water on seismic anisotropy in the mantle transition zone".

Abstract: The crystal structures of the lamprophyllite-related minerals are based upon HOH modules consisting of a central octahedral O sheet sandwiched between two heteropolyhedral H sheets. The general crystal-chemical formula for these minerals can be written as [10-11]A2 [[6]M1[6]M22[6]2M3X2] [[5]L2(Si2O7)2O2], where the contents of the O and H sheets are given in square brackets in this order and A = Ba, Sr, K, Na,; M1 = Na, Mn2+; M2 = Na, Mn2+, Fe2+, Ca; M3 = Ti, Mn2+, Mg, Fe3+, Fe2+; L = Ti, Fe3+; X = OH, O, F. According to the unit-cell parameters and symmetry, lamprophyllite-related minerals can be subdivided into five structure types: I (monoclinic polytypes, C2/m); II (orthorhombic polytypes, Pnmn), III (nabalamprophyllite, BaNa[Na3Ti (OH)2][Ti2(Si2O7)2O2], monoclinic, P2/m, with an ordered arrangement of the interlayer Ba2+ and Na+ cations), IV (triclinic, P1) and V (triclinic, Embedded Image ). The triclinic members (types IV and V) include schüllerite and its analogues, which differ from the lamprophyllite-group minerals sensu stricto in their symmetry and topology of the HOH modules. The end-member formulae of lamprophyllite-related minerals and the position of schüllerite in the ranks of heterophyllosilicates are discussed.

Abersteiner, A.Monticellite in Group 1 kimberlites: implications for evolution of partial melts and post-emplacement CO2 degassing.11th. International Kimberlite Conference, PosterTechnologymonticellite

Abstract: Monticellite is a magmatic and/or deuteric mineral that is often present, but widely varying in concentrations in Group-I (or archetypal) kimberlites. To provide new constraints on the petrogenesis of monticellite and its potential significance to kimberlite melt evolution, we examine the petrography and geochemistry of the minimally altered hypabyssal monticellite-rich Leslie (Canada) and Pipe 1 (Finland) kimberlites. In these kimberlites, monticellite (Mtc) is abundant (25–45 vol%) and can be classified into two distinct morphological types: discrete and intergrown groundmass grains (Mtc-I), and replacement of olivine (Mtc-II).

Sharygin, I.Carbonate inclusions in Cr-pyropes derived from the mantle beneath central Aldan superterranes of Siberian craton.11th. International Kimberlite Conference, PosterRussiaPyropes

Abstract: Mantle-derived lherzolitic and harzburgitic Cr-pyropes from lamprophyres of the Chompolo field (Central Aldan superterrane, North Asian Craton) were studied using micro-Raman spectroscopy and electron microprobe microanalysis. These garnets enclose graphite coexisting with forsterite, diopside, Ba-Cl-phlogopite, tschermakite, rutile, magnesiochromite, Mg-ilmenite, apatite, chalcopyrite, dolomite, magnesite and lindsleyite inclusions. The PT conditions of residence of graphite-bearing assemblage in the mantle were estimated, using a combination of mineral thermometers and barometers, to be as high as 2.87–3.55 GPa and 710–770 °C. Generally, graphite within inclusions is well ordered; D1 and D2 disordered bands in its spectra are restricted to inclusion edges. The residual pressure up to 2.1 GPa was inferred for graphite assuming pressure dependence of the G-band upshift (1580 cm?1 at ambient conditions vs 1588.6 cm?1 at 2.1 GPa). Disordered graphite most likely appears due to the stress-induced distortion of the fully ordered graphite crystal structure. The distortion results from difference in the thermoelastic properties of graphite inclusions and their garnet hosts exposed to decompression during ascent to the surface with lamprophyre magma. The mineralogy of inclusions in the studied garnets strongly suggests an episode(s) of metasomatism by carbon-rich agent(s) (COH-fluid or carbonatitic melt) in the lithospheric mantle of the Central Aldan superterrane, which was coeval with the formation of graphite inclusions and the host pyropes.

Phani, R.Kimberlite indicator minerals in Nutimadugu catchment, Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, India.Proceedings of XXXIV held Aug. 4-9. Perchuk International School of Earth Sciences, At Miass, Russia, 1p. AbstractIndiamineral chemistry

Abstract: The present study examines an unexplored catchment (60 Sq. Km.) at Nutimadugu village, in Anantapur district, on the right bank of Penna River (Fig.1), to attest the occurrence of kimberlite indicator minerals (KIMs). The left bank is famous for diamondiferous kimberlites known as Timmasamudram Kimberlite Cluster. About eight stream sediment samples (~15kg in weight), were collected from the catchment with an approximate sample sapcing of one kilometer. The -1mm fraction of the stream sediments was reduced to heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) using traditional techniques. The selected mineral grains were probed for major elements using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Majority (75%) are chromite grains. Uvaravite and grossularite garnets and few grains of ilmenite are also present. The chromite grains plot in the world wide kimberlitic chromite field, with few in the diamond inclusion field (Fig.2 & 3). The garnet grains plot in the G12 field and found to be wehrlitic in character (Fig.4 & 5). On the contrary, the ilmenite grains plot in the non-kimberlitic field (Fig. 6), which might have been derived from the supracrustal rocks occurring to the east of the catchment. Thus this study highlights that the catchment stands as a priority target for further field investigations.

Spengler, D., van Roermund, H.L.M., Drury, M.R.Deep komatiite signature in cratonic mantle pyroxenite… websterite/Rae cratonJournal of Metamorphic Geology, in press availableEurope, Greenland, Norwaymineral chemistry

Abstract: We present new and compiled whole rock modal mineral, major and trace element data from extremely melt depleted but pyroxenite and garnet(?ite) bearing Palaeoarchaean East Greenland cratonic mantle, exposed as three isolated, tectonically strained orogenic peridotite bodies (Ugelvik, Raudhaugene, Midsundvatnet) in western Norway. The studied lithologies comprise besides spinel? and/or garnet?bearing peridotite (dunite, harzburgite, lherzolite) garnet?clinopyroxenite and partially olivine?bearing garnet?orthopyroxenite and ?websterite. Chemical and modal data and spatial relationships between different rock types suggest deformation to have triggered mechanical mixing of garnet?free dunite with garnet?bearing enclosures that formed garnet?peridotite. Inclusions of olivine in porphyroclastic minerals of pyroxenite show a primary origin of olivine in olivine?bearing variants. Major element oxide abundances and ratios of websterite differ to those in rocks expected to form by reaction of peridotite with basaltic melts or silica?rich fluids, but resemble those of Archaean Al?enriched komatiite (AEK) flows from Barberton and Commondale greenstone belts, South Africa. Websterite GdN/YbN, 0.49-0.65 (olivine?free) and 0.73-0.85 (olivine?bearing), overlaps that of two subgroups of AEK, GdN/YbN 0.25-0.55 and 0.77-0.90, with each of them being nearly indistinguishable from one another in rare earth element fractionation but also concentration. Websterite MgO content is high, 22.7-29.0 wt.%, and Zr/Y is very low, 0.1-1.0. The other, non?websteritic pyroxenites overlap - when mechanically mixed together with garnetite - in chemistry with that of AEK. It follows an origin of websterite and likely all pyroxenite that involves melting of a garnet?bearing depleted mantle source. Pyroxene exsolution lamellae in the inferred solidus garnet in all lithological varieties require the pyroxenites to have crystallised in the majorite garnet stability field, at 3-4 GPa (90-120 km depth) at minimum 1600 °C. Consequently, we interpret the websterites to represent the first recognised deep plutonic crystallisation products that formed from komatiite melts. The other pyroxenitic rocks are likely fragments of such crystallisation products. An implication is that a mantle plume environment contributed to the formation of (one of) the worldwide oldest lithospheric mantle underneath the eastern Rae craton.

Iulianella Phillips, B.P., Simister, R.L., Cayer, E.M., Winterburn, P.A., Crowe, S.A.Direct discovery of concealed kimberlites with microbial community fingerprinting. 2018 Yellowknife Geoscience Forum , p. 36. abstractCanada, Northwest Territoriesmineral chemistry

Abstract: Mineral exploration in Canada is becoming increasingly complex as the majority of undiscovered commodities are likely deeply buried beneath significant glacial overburden and bedrock, reducing the effectiveness of many existing tools. The development of innovative exploration protocols and techniques is imperative to the continuation of discovery success. Preliminary experimentation has demonstrated the potential viability of microbial fingerprinting through genetic sequencing to directly identify the projected subcrop of mineralization in addition to the more distal entrained geochemical signatures in till. With the advent of inexpensive modern sequencing technology and big-data techniques, microbiological approaches to exploration are becoming more quantitative, cost effective, and efficient. The integration of microbial community information with soil chemistry, mineralogy and landscape development coupled with geology and geophysics propagates the development of an improved decision process in mineral exploration. Soils over porphyry, kimberlite, and VMS deposits have undergone microbial community profiling. These community-genome derived datasets have been integrated with trace metal chemistry, mineralogy, surface geology and other environmental variables including Eh and pH. Analyses of two kimberlites in the Northwest Territories show significant microbial community shifts that are correlated with subsurface mineralization, with distinctive microbial community profiles present directly above the kimberlite. The relationship between microbial profiles and mineralization leads to the use of microbial fingerprinting as a method for more accurately delineating ore deposits in glacially covered terrain. As databases are developed, there is potential for application as a field based technique, as sequencing technology is progressively developed into portable platforms.

Tolosana-Delgado, R., von Eynatten, H., Krippner, A., Meinhold, G.A multivariate discrimination scheme of detrital garnet chemistry for use in sedimentary provenance analysis.Sedimentary Geology, Vol. 375, pp. 14-26.Europe, Norway, Austria, Africa, Ugandamineral chemistry

Abstract: Garnet chemistry provides a well-established tool in the discrimination and interpretation of sediment provenance. Current discrimination approaches, however, (i) suffer from using less variables than available, (ii) subjective determination of discrimination fields with strict boundaries suggesting clear separations where in fact probabilities are converging, and (iii) significant overlap of compositional fields of garnet from different host-rock groups. The new multivariate discrimination scheme is based on a large database, a hierarchical discrimination approach involving three steps, linear discriminant analysis at each step, and the five major host-rock groups to be discriminated: eclogite- (A), amphibolite- (B) and granulite- (C) facies metamorphic rocks as well as ultramafic (D) and igneous rocks (E). The successful application of statistical discrimination approaches requires consideration of the a priori knowledge of the respective geologic setting. This is accounted for by the use of prior probabilities. Three sets of prior probabilities (priors) are introduced and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The user is free to choose among these priors, which can be further modified according to the specific geologic problem and the level of a priori knowledge. The discrimination results are provided as integrated probabilities of belonging to the five major host-rock groups. For performing calculations and results a supplementary Excel® spreadsheet is provided. The discrimination scheme has been tested for a large variety of examples of crystalline rocks covering all of the five major groups and several subgroups from various geologic settings. In most cases, garnets are assigned correctly to the respective group. Exceptions typically reflect the peculiarities of the regional geologic situation. Evaluation of detrital garnets from modern and ancient sedimentary settings of the Western Gneiss Region (Norway), Eastern Alps (Austria) and Albertine Rift (Uganda) demonstrates the power to reflect the respective geologic situations and corroborates previous results. As most garnet is derived from metamorphic rocks and many provenance studies aim at reconstructing the tectonic and geodynamic evolution in the source area, the approach and the examples emphasize discrimination of metamorphic facies (i.e., temperature-pressure conditions) rather than protolith composition.

Poitras, S.Kimberlite indicator minerals from the Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, Canada: a reconnaissance geochemical survey.University of Alberta, Msc thesis https://doi.org/ 10.7939/R3C53FH3P availableCanada, Northwest Territoriesmineral chemistry

Abstract: The Central Mackenzie Valley (CMV) area of Northwest Territories is underlain by Precambrian basement belonging to the North American Craton. The potential of this area to host kimberlitic diamond deposits is relatively high judging from the seismologically-defined lithospheric thickness, the age of basement rocks (2.2-1.7 Ga) and presence of kimberlite indicator minerals (KIMs) in Quaternary sediments. This study presents new major, minor and trace element chemistry data for kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) grains collected from two regions within the Central Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories. The data, along with new kimberlite-related rutile U-Pb ages and ilmenite Hf isotopic compositions are used to constrain the composition and thickness of the lithospheric mantle sampled by the source kimberlite(s) and age of these kimberlites for these two regions. In the processed samples, peridotitic garnets dominate (> 25 % at each location) while eclogitic garnet is almost absent in both regions (< 1 % each). KIM chemistry for the Horn Plateau indicates significant diamond potential, with a strong similarity to KIM systematics from the Central and Western Slave Craton. The most significant issue to resolve in assessing the local diamond potential is the degree to which KIM chemistry reflects local and/or distal kimberlite bodies. Radiogenic isotope analysis of detrital kimberlite-related CMV oxide grains requires at least two broad age groups for eroded source kimberlites. Statistical analysis of the data suggests that it is probable that some of these KIMs were derived from primary and/or secondary sources within the CMV area, while others may have been transported to the area from the east-northeast by Pleistocene glacial and/or glaciofluvial systems. At this stage, KIM chemistry does not allow the exact location of the kimberlitic source(s) to be constrained.

Bassoo, R., Befus, K.Cold and fast hypabyssal kimberlite emplacement within the upper crust demonstrated using cold seal experiments. GAC/MAC Meeting UWO, 1p. Abstract p. 34.Globalmonticellite

Abstract: Syn- to post-emplacement alteration of hypabyssal kimberlite may represent an overlooked opportunity to better understand kimberlite volcanism and diamond preservation potential. To learn more about these effects, we conducted a series of short duration (0.25 - 4 h), high-temperature (300 - 900 °C) cold seal experiments designed to test mineral abundances and textures in the hypabyssal environment. A combined approach of petrography, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and optical cathodoluminescence demonstrates that both calcite and olivine are sensitive to temperature in the hypabyssal environment. Primary calcite and olivine are pervasive hypabyssal kimberlite minerals but they will react in a decarbonation reaction to produce monticellite when exposed to elevated temperatures. Monticellite is an indicator of decarbonation and elevated temperature. Decarbonation rates vary directly with temperature and indirectly with CO2 in the fluid, with +12 wt.% CO2 increasing the stability range of calcite by 100 °C. Decarbonation rates are relatively fast, ranging from 1 to 6 area% h-1. To replicate the observed mineral assemblage and textures in natural hypabyssal kimberlites, the rocks could only be exposed to elevated temperatures by syn- to post-emplacement processes with timescales ranging from hours to days. Additionally, calcite preservation in hypabyssal kimberlite provides an observational constraint that diamond grade has not been diminished by post-emplacement conditions. Hypabyssal kimberlites may record other post-emplacement alteration features, which lead to the exsolution of unaccounted for volatiles.
