我国金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的化学成分特征及找矿意义

镁铝榴石是金刚石的重要伴生矿物,而在许多非金伯利岩中也含有镁铝榴石,因此深入研究金伯利岩中与非金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的物理、化学特征,找出它们之间的差异进而确立金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的标型特征,对利用重砂法寻找金刚石原生矿具有重要意义。本文仅对我国已发现的金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的化学成分特征及与非金伯利岩中镁铝     

贵州施秉下翁哨地区镁铝榴石及铬尖晶石重砂异常地球化学指示源岩

以往资料显示,贵州施秉下翁哨地区镁铝榴石和铬尖晶石自然重砂,高度浓集于下翁哨盆地北岸对门坡一带新近系翁哨组含砾粘土岩和盆地南侧2km处斜坡带"不明成因"砂砾石堆积物中,构成罕见的高含量重砂异常,在贵州众多金刚石找矿信息中尤为瞩目,其来源及其金刚石找矿指示意义长期成谜。通过对盆地南侧2km处斜坡带"不明成因"砂砾石堆积物采样分析查证,原样中镁铝榴石为2.7粒/L,铬尖晶石大于5.0粒/L,异常客观存在;电子探针研究表明,镁铝榴石和铬尖晶石分属G9镁铝榴石和S5贫钛高铝富镁铬铁矿,其来源与金伯利岩关系不大。     

我国金伯利岩及其他岩类中的镁铝榴石

镁铝榴石是金伯利岩的副矿物,也常产于橄榄岩、榴辉岩、偏碱性玄武岩、超基性煌斑岩中。因此,确定金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的标型特征,是金刚石找矿和评价工作中的一个重要课题。 本文研究了我国常马庄、头道沟、马坪、彭家榜、土门等地区金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的物理性质和化学特征,并与其他岩类中的镁铝榴石作了对比,探讨了镁铝榴石的标型特征及其与含矿性的关系。     

金伯利岩中镁铝榴石端员分子计算方法的探讨

镁铝榴石是金伯利岩的重要副矿物之一。根据岩石学、热力学和地球物理学的研究,它与金刚石都属于深成高温高压标型矿物。镁铝榴石具有较稳定的物理化学性质,因此,在后期地质作用(蚀变或风化搬运)过程中,能较好地保存下来。而且金伯利岩中的镁铝榴石,因含有较多的铬与镁,颜色较特殊,在重砂或手标本中容易鉴定。     

贵州施秉下翁哨地区镁铝榴石和铬尖晶石自然重砂罕见特高异常查证

综合利用以往资料发现,贵州施秉下翁哨地区存在特高浓度镁铝榴石、铬尖晶石等自然重砂异常,且长期未能解释其来源及金刚石找矿指示问题。由于资料形成于"文革"时期,有人怀疑其可靠性,通过针对性的野外调查和采样分析,佐证了该异常的客观存在和以往资料的可靠性。镁铝榴石和铬尖晶石自然重砂含量水平实属罕见,异常区分布于高出现代河床200m的斜坡上部,残积于古河道砂砾石冲积层(?)中,矿物学分析未见重砂矿物明显的搬运磨蚀痕迹,电子探针分析分属于G9镁铝榴石和S5铬尖晶石,应主要来源于石榴和尖晶二辉橄榄岩,系载体母岩——钾镁煌斑岩就近风化残积的结果。     

山东、辽宁金伯利岩中石榴石的类型、标型特征及其与金刚石的关系

金伯利岩中的镁铝榴石是寻找金刚石的重要指示矿物。镁铝榴石的Cr2O3、CaO等氧化物含量及其颜色、折光率等物理光学性质可作为这种石榴石的标型特征。 本文将山东、辽宁等地金伯利岩中的石榴石的电子探针分析结果按分子数配分的方法计算了端员分子百分数及其他化学参数。用MPV—1显微光度仪测定了石榴石的透射率色散值,通过计算求得颜色指数。按Dawson等人的分类,本次研究样品以铬镁铝榴石为主,其次是低钙-铬镁铝榴石、钙铬-镁铝榴石和镁铬-钙铬-镁铝榴石;钛镁铝榴石和钙镁铝-铁铝榴石等少量。作者用铬、钙、镁三组份数绘制了石榴石与金刚石关系判别图解,分为五个区(A、B、C、D、E)、落入A区的低钙-铬镁铝榴石、铬镁铝榴石和钙铬-镁铝榴石等与金刚石的形成关系最密切。     

简述贵州施秉下翁哨含铬镁铝榴石和镁铬尖晶石重砂异常之谜

贵州施秉下翁哨地区含铬镁铝榴石和镁铬尖晶石自然重砂,高度浓集于下翁哨盆地北岸对门坡一带新近系翁哨组含砾黏土岩和盆地南侧2 km处斜坡带"不明成因"砂砾石堆积物中,构成罕见高含量重砂异常,文中通过钾镁煌斑岩、金伯利岩和一般基性-超基性岩及榴辉岩等石榴子石含量特征的对比分析,尚难解释异常来源问题,甚至利用章人骏(1985)关于沅水流域金刚石及其伴生矿物分布的"古冰碛物次生源"观点,亦难解其来源和矿物组合问题,故此权称为谜,特撰文简述抛砖引玉以期共勉,尤籍此为贵州金刚石原生矿的找矿突破寻找指导。     

辽宁金伯利岩中镁铝榴石与金刚石的关系

辽宁金伯利岩中镁铝榴石的含量与金刚石的含量成正比。富含矿的岩体中镁铝榴石颜色有紫色、红色和橙色等种类,其中以紫色的为主,金刚石的含量越多紫色类型所占比例就越大。 镁铝榴石中Cr_2O_3和CaO的含量随其颜色的加深而升高;Al_2O_3、MgO、TiO_2的含量变化则相反。富矿岩体中富铬(>5％)镁铝榴石的含量高于中等含矿和贫含矿的岩体。 文中还列出了山东和贵州金刚石矿中镁铝榴石的资料以资对比。     

镁铝榴石的形成温度及其结构水成因探讨

在红外光谱有关镁铝榴石中微量结构水的研究基础上,运用质子探针分析方法系统研究了辽宁50号金伯利岩管中粗晶镁铝榴石Ni、Zn、Ga、Sr、Y、Zr、Pb等微量元素的含量。根据镁铝榴石中微量元素Ni含量地质温度计,计算该岩管中镁铝榴石粗晶的形成温度,对比研究了不同含矿性的金伯利岩中粗晶镁铝榴石形成温度范围的异同,并探讨了该方法运用于金刚石找矿勘查的可能性;讨论了含结构水镁铝榴石的形成温度范围及其意义,并结合其它微量元素分析资料,探讨了镁铝榴石中微量结构水与地幔交代作用之间的成因联系。     

镁铝榴石成分特征的统计分析与金伯利岩含矿性

The Petrology of Grospydite Xenoliths from the Zagadochnaya Kimberlite Pipe in Yakutia

The xenoliths of garnet–clinopyroxene–disthene rocks(grospydites and associated kyanite eclogites) from the Zagadochnayakimberlite pipe in Yakutia have been studied in detail. Contraryto previous data, the presence of a continuous range in thepyrope-grossular series of garnets is shown on the basis ofnumerous X-ray data and 17 chemical analyses of garnets. Thisconclusion is confirmed by the study of separate grains withkyanite intergrowths from the kimberlite heavy fraction, whichare present in the kimberlite as the result of destruction ofgrospydite xenoliths, and possible, of garnet-kyanite rocksalso. A close connection of the calcium content in the garnetwith the sodium content in the coexisting clinopyroxes is alsoshown. An increase in the chemical potential of sodium resultsin the stability of the pryoxene-kyanite assemblage insteadof a garnet of intermediate composition (50 percent of grossular).The interval of the miscibility gap between calcium-rich andcalcium-poor garnets is increased in this way. The data of chemicalanalyses of 14 pyroxenes from the xenoliths indicate that theydiffer in the high aluminium and sodium content from other pyroxenesof eclogite-facies rocks. Chromium-rich bands with a high chromiumcontent in coexisting garnet, pyroxene, and kyantic have beenoccasionally found in the xenoliths. A study has been made ofthe chrome-kyanite with 12.86 per Cr202. The presence of chromium-richminerals in the grospydite xenoliths confrms their connectionwith ultrabasic rocks.     

Garnet Types from the Cazadero Area, California

This is the third in a series of papers on glaucophane schistsfrom the Franciscan Formation near Cazadero, California. Previouspapers describe three distinct types of glaucophane-bearingFranciscan metamorphic rocks near Cazadero. The purpose of this study is to investigate the garnets presentin metamorphic types III (bedrock schists) and IV (tectonicblocks) as defined by Coleman & Lee (1963). Twenty-fourgarnet analyses are presented. Sixteen of these are from (aragonite-bearing)type III glaucophane schists, and eight are from type IV glaucophaneschists. Type IV rocks include California eclogites. Type III rocks include metabasalt, metachert, metashale, meta-ironstone,and metacarbonate that were formed under high pressure and relativelylow temperature. These rocks contain garnets that display awide range of composition, but the dominant molecules representedare consistently almandine, spessartine, and grossular. Type IV rocks are mainly metabasalts that were probably formedunder higher temperatures and pressures than type III rocks.There is a distinct difference between garnets from type IIIrocks and those from type IV (including eclogites); the lattercontainless spessartine and more pyrope, and the dominant moleculesare almandine and grossular. The four analyses of garnets fromCalifornia eclogites have an average pyrope content of aboutten molecular per cent, and they extend the range of compositionreported for eclogite garnets. Quantitative spectrographic determinations of minor elementsare listed for each of the garnets described. The values determinedfor some of the minor elements have a wide range and a capriciousdistribution over a few feet of outcrop area. As a group, both the garnets from type III rocks and those fromtype IV are pyralspites with large contents (as much as 35 molecularper cent) of ugrandite. This unusual admixture of the pyralspiteand ugrandite garnet series may have resulted in part from theconditions (high pressures and relatively low temperatures)under which the enclosing rocks were recrystallized.     

接触交代夕卡岩型矿床中石榴子石和辉石成分特点及其与矿化的关系

本文对中国十四个接触交代钙夕卡岩矿床和钙-镁夕卡岩矿床中的三百多个样品的石榴子石和辉石成分进行了电子探针分析。不同矿床类型的石榴子石和辉石成分代表着钙夕卡岩矿床的十个矿种(Fe、Fe-Cu、Pb-Zn、W、Sn、Sn-Mo-Bi-W、、W-Bi-Cu-Mo、Cu-Zn、Cu-Sn、W-Zn-Cu)和钙-镁夕卡岩矿床的三个矿种(Fe-Cu、Mo、Pb-Zn)。石榴子石和辉石成分变化范围大,大多数石榴子石是含锰铝榴石+铁铝榴石+镁铝榴石小于15％(摩尔百分数)的钙铝榴石-钙铁榴石固溶体;大多数辉石是含小于5％的锰钙辉石的透辉石-钙铁辉石固溶体。有些Pb-Zn钙-镁夕卡岩矿床中的辉石显示出Mn含量有所增加。只有Sn和W钙夕卡岩矿床及Pb-Zn钙-镁夕卡岩矿床含(Sps+Alm+Pyr)总量大于15％的石榴子石。石榴子石和辉石成分与夕卡岩矿床金属矿化类型之间有某些联系。     

几个天然镁铝榴石的穆斯堡尔效应的研究

穆斯堡尔效应是一种无反冲的核γ射线的共振吸收现象,它是1958年由穆斯堡尔(R.L.M(?)ssbauer)发现的。由于穆斯堡尔效应产生的γ射线共振吸收谱线的能量宽度接近原子核能级的自然线宽,以及无反冲γ射线共振吸收(或散射)对γ射线能量变化十分灵敏,因此,可以把共振吸收的原子核当做灵敏的探针,测量固体中有关的原子核与核所在位置上固体的化学环境间的超精细相互作用。近些年来,穆斯堡尔效应已广泛应用于物理学、化学、生物学及矿物学的研究中来,穆斯堡尔谱仪已成为这些学科的重要研究工具之一。     

Experimental studies At 5–12 GPa of the Ondermatjie hypabyssal kimberlite

Liquidus and sub-liquidus phase relationships are reported for melts formed from an aphanitic kimberlite composition crystallized at 5–12 GPa and 900–1400 °C. The liquidus phase over the pressure range investigated is forsteritic olivine. This is followed with decreasing temperature by olivine plus garnet as the initial sub-liquidus solid phase assemblage. Supra-solidus assemblages consist of olivine+garnet+clinopyroxene+Mg-ilmenite+liquid at 5–7 GPa or olivine+garnet+clinopyroxene+hematite–ilmenite solid solutions (+/−perovskite)+liquid at 8–12 GPa. Phlogopite forms as a near-solidus phase only at 900 °C and 6 GPa. Orthopyroxene does not form at any temperature and pressure. All garnets formed at 6–7 GPa are Ti-rich almandine–grossular–pyrope solid solutions and not Cr-pyrope, whereas garnets formed above 8 GPa are Ti- and Fe³⁺-rich and have no natural counterparts. Quenched liquids are represented by magnesite at 10–12 GPa and Mg–Ca-carbonates at lower pressures. In addition to forming discrete crystals, Mg-ilmenite and hematite–ilmenite solid solutions occur as lamellar intergrowths that are identical in texture to naturally occurring intergrowths. Mg-ilmenite compositions at 6–7 GPa are similar to those of the natural occurrences, whereas clinopyroxenes are richer in Ca. The effects of graphite versus platinum capsules on the oxygen fugacity of the experimental charges and the composition of the olivine, clinopyroxene, Fe–Ti-oxides and garnets formed are described. These experimental data are interpreted to indicate that kimberlite magmas are unlikely to be formed by very small degrees of partial melting of a simple homogeneous carbonated garnet lherzolite mantle. It is proposed that kimberlite magmas form by extensive partial melting of metasomatized mantle, i.e. mineralogically complex carbonate-bearing veins in a lherzolitic/harzburgitic substrate, and that lamellar ilmenite–clinopyroxene intergrowths represent the products of non-equilibrium growth in kimberlite magma.     

Stability of kimberlite garnets exposed to chemical weathering: Relationship with Cr contents

The dissolution stability of garnets from kimberlite has been studied in new experiments in which etching in HF simulated natural chemical weathering. The experiments lasted 42 days and included weight loss monitoring and analysis of chemistry and parageneses of the output grains. The etched garnets of Cr₂O₃-rich parageneses became corroded less strongly. The greater chemical resistance of Cr-rich pyropes is consistent with the behavior of bulk Cr₂O₃ observed in a natural garnet assemblage from a weathered placer derived from the Mir kimberlite. Chemical weathering being the principal control of the assemblage composition, the placer assemblages with uncorroded pyropes may be compositionally proximal to their counterparts in the kimberlite.     

喜马拉雅结晶岩系中的石榴子石

高喜马拉雅地区广泛分布着一套结晶岩系,它是由前寒武系铁铝榴石-闪岩相的巴罗型区域变质岩系、混合岩和第三纪花岗岩组成。在我国境内聂拉木一带出露宽度达50公里。应思淮(1973)把这套岩系命名为珠穆朗玛群,张旗(1979)把它叫做聂拉木群。对于其中区域变质岩的变质带划分,存在不同的看法。     

The Fazenda Largo off-craton kimberlites of Piauí State, Brazil

In the late 1990s, the Fazenda Largo kimberlite cluster was discovered in the Piauí State of Brazil. As with earlier known kimberlites in this area – Redondão, Santa Filomena-Bom Jesus (Gilbues) and Picos – this cluster is located within the Palaeozoic Parnaiba Sedimentary Basin that separates the São Francisco and the Amazonian Precambrian cratons. Locations of kimberlites are controlled by the ‘Transbrasiliano Lineament’. The Fazenda Largo kimberlites are intensely weathered, almost completely altered rocks with a fine-grained clastic structure, and contain variable amounts of terrigene admixture (quartz sand). These rocks represent near-surface volcano-sedimentary deposits of the crater parts of kimberlite pipes. By petrographic, mineralogical and chemical features, the Fazenda Largo kimberlites are similar to average kimberlite. The composition of the deep-seated material in the Fazenda Largo kimberlites is quite diverse: among mantle microxenoliths are amphibolitised pyrope peridotites, garnetised spinel peridotites, ilmenite peridotites, chromian spinel + chromian diopside + pyrope intergrowths, and large xenoliths of pyrope dunite. High-pressure minerals are predominantly of the ultramafic suite, Cr-association minerals (purplish-red and violet pyrope, chromian spinel, chromian diopside, Cr-pargasite and orthopyroxene). The Ti-association minerals of the ultramafic suite (picroilmenite and orange pyrope), as well as rare grains of orange pyrope-almandine of the eclogite association, are subordinate. Kimberlites from all four pipes contain rare grains of G10 pyrope of the diamond association, but chromian spinel of the diamond association was not encountered. By their tectonic position, by geochemical characteristics, and by the composition of kimberlite indicator minerals, the Fazenda Largo kimberlites, like the others of such type, are unlikely to be economic.     

Compositional characteristics of garnets and pyroxenes in contact-metasomatic skarn deposits and their relationship with metallization

The compositions of more than 300 granets and pyroxenes from 14 contact-metasomatic calcic skarn deposits and calcic-magnesia skarn skarn deposits in China have been examined using electron microprobe technique. The compositions of garnets and pyroxenes from a wide variety of ore types represent ten major classes of calcic skarn deposits (Fe, Fe-Cu, Pb-Zn,W, Sn, Sn-Mo-Bi-W, W-Bi-Cu-Mo, Cu-Zn and W-Zn-Cu) and three major classes of calcic-magnesia skarn deposits (Fe-Cu, Mo, Pb-Zn). Garnets and pyroxenes show a wide range of variation in composition, but the majority of garnets are grossular-andradite solid solutions containing less than 15 mol% (spessartine + almandine + pyrope), whereas most pyroxenes are diopside-hedenbergite solid solutions containing less than 5 mol% johannesenile. Some pyroxenes from a Pb-Zn calcic-magnesia skarn deposit display an increase in Mn content. Only Sn-W calcic skarn deposits and Pb-Zn calcic-magnesia skarn deposits contain garnets with more than 15 mol% (spessartine + almandine + pyrope). Some relationships have been established between the compositions of garnets and pyroxenes and the metallization types of economically important metals in skarn deposits.     

库车坳陷三叠系碎屑重矿物成分及其物源属性

库车坳陷三叠系发育良好,出露齐全,主要由陆相碎屑岩组成。本文运用电子探针微区成分分析方法,对库车坳陷北部三叠系砂岩中石榴石、电气石、铬尖晶石进行了矿物化学成分分析。结果显示,碎屑石榴石主要富含铁铝榴石,其次为镁铝榴石、锰铝榴石,钙铝榴石含量较低,他们主要来自于低级-高级变质岩和花岗岩;电气石主要来自于变质沉积岩和花岗岩;铬尖晶石则主要源自岛弧玄武岩、洋岛玄武岩和与俯冲相关的橄榄岩。综合石榴石与电气石研究结果表明,上三叠统碎屑物质更多的来自于高级变质岩和花岗岩,而下三叠统碎屑物质主要源自低级变质岩和花岗岩。通过对比西天山榴辉岩、片麻岩中石榴石成分,本文所研究的高镁石榴石以低钙铝榴石含量与榴辉岩中石榴石相区别,而与片麻岩中石榴石成分相似。西天山榴辉岩在三叠纪时期可能尚未剥露至地表,但片麻岩已有相当范围的出露。上三叠统的碎屑铬尖晶石可能主要来自于中天山及南天山的岛弧岩浆岩及蛇绿岩,部分源自洋岛玄武岩,为南天山为多岛海造山提供了沉积学证据。
