新疆阿克陶红蓝宝石矿床矿物学研究

新疆阿克陶红蓝宝石矿床含矿岩石具有典型的眼球状、条带状混合岩化构造。浅色脉体中的钾长石有序度很低，属单斜正长石，其中部分发育钠长石出溶条纹。基体中出现富铝矿物矽线石和电气石，黑云母中Ａｌ２Ｏ３含量高；斜长石Ａｎ值低，为钠长石。含矿岩石为富铝贫硅低钙质岩石。脉体中的红蓝宝石晶体中发现大量流体熔融包裹体。红蓝宝石矿床为混合岩化作用成因，形成于高温低压条件下     

缅甸与莫桑比克红宝石的元素含量及紫外可见光谱学特征对比研究

采用镜下观察、激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱、紫外-可见吸收光谱等观察测试方法,对缅甸和莫桑比克红宝石的常规宝石学、包裹体、化学元素含量及紫外光谱特征进行了系统的对比研究。结果表明,缅甸红宝石在紫外荧光灯下呈现较强的红色荧光,内部含有互为60°夹角定向排列的短针状金红石、"糖浆状"构造等特征包裹体,具有低Fe、高V、高Ga的微量元素特征,紫外区吸收截止边小于320 nm,且694 nm处的荧光较强。莫桑比克红宝石在紫外荧光灯下荧光较弱,内部可见双晶面、无序排列的金红石和角闪石晶体等特征包裹体,具有高Fe、低V、低Ga的微量元素特征,紫外区吸收截止边在350 nm附近。上述性质可用作区分缅甸和莫桑比克红宝石的标志性识别特征。     

吉林省新生代玄武岩中红、蓝宝石矿找矿方向

通过收集前人资料和野外地质调查及地球化学分析,对中国东部发育红、蓝宝石矿的不同地区进行了对比研究,进而从寄主岩类型、寄主岩形成时代和火山机构四周发育的第四系沉积物特征角度,提出了吉林省应将伊舒带、敦密带、东宁-宽甸带作为首选的红、蓝宝石找矿方向。     

鲁西地区“泰山红宝石”的发现及其地质特征

在山东新泰市新太古代泰山岩群变质岩系中,首次发现宝石级红刚玉,又称红宝石,商业名称暂定为＂泰山红宝石＂。红宝石产于鲁西地区新太古代二长花岗岩的壳源岩石包体之中,包体岩性以黑云更长变粒岩、黑云片岩、角闪石岩、斜长角闪岩、浅绿色含铬二云片岩为主,是新太古代古老地壳的深融残留;红刚玉与浅绿色含铬二云片岩关系密切,推测是新太古代变质岩中原岩残留斑晶矿物。     

Kaolinite Claystones associated with the Wongawilli seam in the southern part of the Sydney basin

Kaolinite claystones that are similar in structure, texture and composition to the kaolin tonsteins of Western Europe, and to some of the flint clays of North America, are associated with the Wongawilli Seam in the southern part of the Sydney Basin, where they form thin persistent bands within the coal and somewhat thicker deposits immediately overlying the seam. The thin bands within the coal are fine grained and consist of brecciated to pelletal clasts composed of well‐ordered kaolinite set in a matrix of similar composition. The thicker deposits overlying the seam are much coarser grained and appear restricted in occurrence to the basin margins. They contain a predominance of oolites with kaolinite clasts bonded by a relatively sparse matrix and in places, remarkable ‘outgrowths’ of vermicular kaolinite. The origin of the deposits is discussed, and it is concluded that most of the unusual features of these claystones can be ascribed to a fluvial environment.     

Gemstone Mineralization in the Palghat-Cauvery Shear Zone System (Karur-Kangayam Belt), Southern India

We summarize here the occurrence of a number of semiprecious stones within a major gemstone belt in the Palghat-Cauvery shear zone system close to the northern margin of the Madurai Granulite Block, southern India. The gem mineralization in this belt includes different varieties of corundum (star ruby, sapphire), cordierite (iolite), feldspar (moonstones and sunstone of various hues), beryl (emerald, aquamarine), chrysoberyl (alexandrite), kornerupine, topaz, spinel, crystal quartz and amethyst, among others. Gem mineralisation has not been directly dated, but is associated with pegmatites that crosscut rocks metamorphosed in late Neoproterozoic/Early Cambrian times. Similar aged gem mineralization occurs south of the Achankovil Shear Zone in southern India, as well as in Sri Lanka and Madagascar and strengthen the view of a broad late Neoproterozoic-early Cambrian gemstone province in central Gondwana. The ruby mineralization within this belt can be correlated with similar occurrences in eastern Madagascar, supporting a correlation between the Malagasy Betsimisaraka suture zone and the Palghat-Cauvery shear zone system in southern India.

我国红宝石、蓝宝石及其包裹体

我国红宝石和蓝宝石矿床有岩浆型、接触变质型、伟晶岩和砂矿等,岩浆型为主要矿床类型。红宝石以玫瑰红为主,血红色少见;粒度一般为5mm±。蓝宝石为靛蓝色,墨水蓝罕见;粒度一般5～50mm。两者莫氏硬度为9±0.1,比重4±0.1。宝石中有晶质包裹体、熔融包裹体、流体包裹体、含子矿物多相包裹体、CH包裹体。岩浆型和接触变质型宝石中包裹体均一温度≥1380℃,压力(1～24)×10~8Pa。根据包裹体信息指出:指纹包裹体及其中CH包裹体是天然宝石的鉴别标志。宝石的颜色与亲铁元素及CH包裹体有关。星光宝石与六面针包裹体有关。     

一种罕见的红宝石与蓝晶石共生玉石
