cummingtonite การใช้
- Similarly, cummingtonite has lower ferric iron and aluminium than anthophyllite.
- It is the iron endmember of the grunerite-cummingtonite series.
- Calcium, sodium and potassium concentrations in cummingtonite are low.
- Cummingtonite tends toward more calcium substitution than related anthophyllite.
- Cummingtonite has also been found in some felsic volcanic rocks such as dacites.
- Cummingtonite shares few compositional similarities with alkali amphiboles such as arfvedsonite, glaucophane-riebeckite.
- With prograde metamorphism cummingtonite and grunerite morph to members of the olivine and pyroxene series.
- It may be difficult to distinguish cummingtonite from the Mg rich variety in hand specimens.
- These are : anthophyllite, riebeckite, cummingtonite / grunerite series, and actinolite / tremolite series.
- Manganese also substitutes for ( Fe, Mg ) within cummingtonite amphibole, replacing B site atoms.
- The new minerals are found intergrown with the amphiboles anthophyllite and cummingtonite in sprays up to 5 cm long.
- The cummingtonite / grunerite series is often termed amosite or brown asbestos; riebeckite is known as crocidolite or blue asbestos.
- Associated minerals include calcite, dolomite, grossular, wollastonite, talc, diopside, forsterite, cummingtonite, riebeckite and winchite.
- Magnesiocummingtonite is considered to be an aptly named magnesium rich variety of the mineral cummingtonite which has Fe 2 + substituting for some of the Mg.
- Environmental organizations, scientists, and lawyers made the case that the tailings not only polluted Lake Superior, but that they contained cummingtonite-grunerite.
- Monoclinic cummingtonite is compositionally similar and polymorphic with orthorhombic anthophyllite, which is a much more common form of magnesium-rich amphibole, the latter being metastable.
- The upper flow facies tend to be dominated by talc, chlorite, tremolite, and other magnesian amphiboles ( anthophyllite, cummingtonite, gedrite, etc . ).
- Gedrite occurs in contact and medium to high grade metamorphic rocks in association with garnet, cordierite, anthophyllite, cummingtonite, sapphirine, sillimanite, kyanite, quartz, staurolite and biotite.
- "' Anthophyllite "'is an amphibole mineral : & Mg 2 Mg 5 Si 8 O 22 ( OH ) 2 ( & is for a vacancy, a point defect in the crystal structure ), magnesium iron polymorphic with cummingtonite.
