成因矿物学研究在宝石学中的应用

成因矿物学的许多理论,如矿物的物理性质标型、矿物化学成分标型、矿物包裹体成分标型等都已经渗透到了宝石学研究的各项工作中,这些理论为鉴定天然宝石与人工宝石、鉴定宝石是否经过处理以及进一步鉴定天然宝石的成因和产地提供了重要的思路和依据,并且对宝石的优化与合成有着重要的指导作用.本文在总结与分析前人研究成果的基础上,根据某些常见宝石的鉴定特征(如钻石、红宝石、蓝宝石、祖母绿以及其他一些常见宝玉石等),归纳和阐述成因矿物学研究在宝石学中的实际应用.

包裹体特征在宝石鉴别中的应用研究

宝石中的包裹体是宝石产出环境特征的再现，它是宝石鉴别的关键，可以解决人造宝石与天然宝石的鉴别，可以作为鉴别宝石真伪的可靠手段。在研究不同成因类型的宝石包裹体和不同产地的宝石包裹体，以及天然宝石与仿制品中包裹体特征的基础上，进行了包裹体分类，并列举了不同类型包裹体特征鉴别宝石的实例。

天然祖母绿与合成祖母绿的成分及红外吸收光谱研究

祖母绿是一种高档名贵的宝石,其矿物学名称为绿柱石,化学成分为铍铝硅酸盐。鉴别天然祖母绿和人工合成祖母绿,已成为祖母绿宝石鉴定中的一个重要课题。文章采用常规宝石学研究方法、激光剥蚀-电感耦合等离子体质谱法和红外光谱技术对天然祖母绿(包括哥伦比亚祖母绿和巴西祖母绿)、合成祖母绿(包括助熔剂法合成祖母绿和水热法合成祖母绿)样品进行了系统的分析和研究。结果表明,天然祖母绿与合成祖母绿的主要致色微量元素Cr的含量越高,祖母绿的绿色越浓艳;天然祖母绿与合成祖母绿的红外吸收光谱特征具有明显的差异;根据祖母绿中是否含水、水的赋存状态以及氯的吸收峰,可作为准确鉴别天然祖母绿和合成祖母绿的重要依据。等离子体质谱法化学成分分析不能确定祖母绿是天然形成还是人工合成,需在常规宝石学检测的基础上,综合研究祖母绿的红外吸收光谱特征及内含物特征,才能准确地鉴别天然祖母绿、水热法合成祖母绿和助熔剂法合成祖母绿。

祖母绿矿床研究现状

祖母绿矿床多为花岗岩浆期后酸性热液交代基性-超基性岩之产物。祖母绿通常呈不均匀浸染状或斑晶赋存变质片岩或其与酸性岩脉的接触带中,可将其分为热液型、气成-热液型和伟晶岩型几类矿床．包裹体研究对确定祖母绿宝石的成因、成矿地质环境条件、鉴定天然和人工宝石、确定其产地及评定其质量等级有着重要意义．我国对云南麻坡祖母绿矿床已做过较深入的研究,此外,新疆阿尔泰山、天山、甘肃北山、内蒙古中部、湖南幕阜山、四川九龙、平武等亦都有绿柱石类宝石产出．新疆发现一处碳酸岩脉祖母绿矿床,颇具前景。当前我国祖母绿研究中应加强对矿床分类、成矿及生长结晶作用、包裹体的深入研究并对已有线索加大研究及勘查力度．     

Pressure-temperature-fluid constraints for the Emmaville-Torrington emerald deposit, New South Wales, Australia: Fluid inclusion and stable isotope studies

The Emmaville-Torrington emeralds were first discovered in 1890 in quartz veins hosted within a Permian metasedimentary sequence, consisting of meta-siltstones, slates and quartzites intruded by pegmatite and aplite veins from the Moule Granite. The emerald deposit genesis is consistent with a typical granite-related emerald vein system. Emeralds from these veins display colour zonation alternating between emerald and clear beryl. Two fluid inclusion types are identified: three-phase (brine+vapour+halite) and two-phase (vapour+liquid) fluid inclusions. Fluid inclusion studies indicate the emeralds were precipitated from saline fluids ranging from approximately 33 mass percent NaCl equivalent. Formational pressures and temperatures of 350 to 400 °C and approximately 150 to 250 bars were derived from fluid inclusion and petrographic studies that also indicate emerald and beryl precipitation respectively from the liquid and vapour portions of a two-phase (boiling) system. The distinct colour zonations observed in the emerald from these deposits is the first recorded emerald locality which shows evidence of colour variation as a function of boiling. The primary three-phase and primary two-phase FITs are consistent with alternating chromium-rich ??striped?? colour banding. Alternating emerald zones with colourless beryl are due to chromium and vanadium partitioning in the liquid portion of the boiling system. The chemical variations observed at Emmaville-Torrington are similar to other colour zoned emeralds from other localities worldwide likely precipitated from a boiling system as well.     

Fluid Composition, δD of Channel H2O,and δ18O of Lattice Oxygen in Beryls: Genetic Implications for Brazilian,Colombian, and Afghanistani Emerald Deposits

The fluid composition, δD of channel H₂O, and δ₁₈O of lattice oxygen have been determined in beryl and emerald from a variety of geological environments and used to constrain the origin of the parental fluids from which beryl has grown. Step-heating analyses performed by quadrupolar mass spectrometry were used to quantify the composition of the fluid phases in beryl from granitic pegmatites and greisens and emerald from Brazil, Colombia, and Afghanistan. An important conclusion is that beryl and emerald have a similar fluid composition, with concentrations of H₂O being greater than 90% of the total water in the mineral irrespective of the age of formation (2.0 Ga to 32 Ma) and tectonic settings. However, the Brazilian Santa Terezinha shear-zone emerald deposit contains abundant CO₂, up to 13 wt% of the total fluid. A second conclusion is that the channel H₂O content for some Brazilian emeralds is higher than the range defined for beryl in the literature, especially for those related to the shear-zone type (2.99 lt; H₂O < 3.16 wt%) and the pegmatite type from the Pombos, Pela Ema, and Pirenopolis deposits (2.78 < H₂O < 3.01 wt%). Colombian emeralds have very low H₂O contents (1.30 < H₂O < 1.96 wt%), among the lowest in the world.

Brazilian, Colombian, and Afghanistani emeralds have contrasting and restricted ranges of δ¹⁸O values. In Brazil, emeralds related to pegmatites have a systematic δ¹⁸O inter-deposit variability (+6.3 < δ¹⁸O < +12.4‰). The calculated δ¹⁸O of the fluid was buffered by the host ultrabasic rocks during fluid-rock interaction. Emerald and cogenetic phlogopite related to shear-zone-type deposits have a quite restricted δ¹⁸O range (+12.0 < δ¹⁸O 7lt; +12.4‰); the calculated is interpreted to represent the original isotopic composition of the hydrothermal fluid. Relative to Brazil, the δ¹⁸O of Colombian and Afghanistani emeralds shows strong enrichment in ¹⁸O (+13.4 < δ¹⁸O < +23.6‰), and the high calculated δ¹⁸O of the fluid suggests extensive reaction with 18O-rich sedimentary or metasedimentary rocks.

In Brazil, the δD composition of channels in emerald and the calculated δ¹⁸O^H₂O for phlogopite are compatible with both magmatic and metamorphic origins. A magmatic origin is supported for emeralds associated with the pegmatitic Socotó and Carnaiba deposits (mean δD = ?37.8 ± 8‰) and a metamorphic origin is suggested for the Santa Terezinha shear-zone type (mean δD = ?32.4 ± 3‰). A metamorphic origin is proposed for Colombian emeralds. Afghanistani emeralds have a δD composition of channels (mean δD = ?46.3 ± 1.3‰) that is compatible with both magmatic and metamorphic origins.     

电子探针和X射线衍射仪测定新疆祖母绿宝石

新疆首次发现了质量上佳的祖母绿宝石(绿柱石),受到了国内外学者的高度关注。文章对新疆祖母绿矿物晶体进行电子探针显微分析(EPMA)和X射线衍射(XRD)测试,获得EPMA成分分析结果及XRD测试晶胞参数、衍射图谱。结果表明,新疆祖母绿化学成分中Cr2O3含量较高,一般在0.21%~0.54%;典型样品晶胞参数测定结果为a0=0.923 3 nm,c0=0.920 6 nm,Z=2,主要粉晶谱线为2.871(100)、3.257(100)、7.996(100)。     

Tracing the emerald origin by oxygen isotope data: the case of Sandawana,Zimbabwe

Given the wide range of oxygen isotopic composition of emerald from all over the world (δ¹⁸O between +6.2 and +24.7‰), the δ¹⁸O_V-SMOW values of emeralds from the Sandawana mines in Zimbabwe (δ¹⁸O‰=+6.6 to +8.0), are relatively constant, among the lowest ever measured. These consistently low values can be explained by host-rock buffering in a very narrow emerald-bearing reaction zone between ultrabasic greenstones (metamorphosed komatiites) and albitised pegmatites. δ¹⁸O values of Sandawana emeralds overlap those of emeralds from Brazil, Austria, Australia and Madagascar, a fact indicating that, in these cases, oxygen isotope composition alone is not sufficient to determine the geographic origin of commercially available emeralds. However, stones with overlapping δ¹⁸O values may eventually be identified using a combination of physical properties, inclusion characteristics and chemical composition.
