Abstract
A diversity of twinning and exsolution textures has been observed by TEM in natural kalsilite from volcanic and metamorphic rocks (Mount Nyiragongo, Zaire; Alban Hills, Italy; Kerala, southern India). The phase transitions responsible for these microstructures were examined by high-T powder and single-crystal XRD.
