... assemblage comprises brown amphibole (titanian pargasite and kaersutite) and sodic–calcic plagioclase, and the second one comprises green amphibole (mainly katophorite, barroisite, taramite and tremolite), sodic plagioclase, rutile, clinozoisite and calcite. Brown and green amphiboles present similar...

... the amphibole is mainly formed by feldspar, quartz, and clinopyroxene. This paper reports a complete mineral description and crystal-structure details for this new taramite end-member that has been recognised by IMA-CNMMC with the vote 2007-015. Holotype potassic-aluminotaramite has the experimental unit...

...) . The root name taramite [with composition defined as A Na B (CaNa) C (Fe 3 2+ AlFe 3+ ) T (Si 6 Al 2 ) O 22 W (OH) 2 in Leake et al. 1997 ] applies to the four ideal end-members having at the C sites the combinations Fe 3 2+ Fe 2 3+ , Mg 3 2+ Fe 2 3+ , Fe 3 2+ Al 2 3+ , and Mg 3 2+ Al 2 3...

...; it commonly overgrows lisetite and is associated with albitic plagioclase and taramitic amphibole. This eclogite occurrence is noted for its bulk-rock compositions rich in (Na + Al) and poor in (K + Mg). The paucity in K prevented the growth of nepheline, and the paucity in Si in precursor jadeite led...

...), with less common late-stage sodic-calcic amphiboles (katophorite, magnesio-katophorite, ferro-richterite, and taramite); sodic amphiboles (ferro-ferri-nybøite, ferri-nybøite) are only observed in agpaitic pegmatites. All early pegmatite mafic minerals in low agpaitic pegmatites have negative Eu anomalies...

.... Jadeite dominates where presumably plagioclase was formerly present. Omphacite dominates where augite is internally replaced along cleavage and fractures. Late chlorite, taramite and ferropargasite replace these pseudomorphs. (2) Former plagioclase laths of the ophitic fabric are replaced by jadeite...

... (jadeite = 38-57 mol°/o and acmite = 0-4 mol%), amphibole, muscovite, apatite, and rutile. The primary amphibole shows wide chemical variations from pargasitic hornblende to magnesian taramite. The Rongchen and Lunan samples also contain primary kyanite. Secondary minerals formed under amphib-olite-facies...

Almandine poikiloblasts (Alm) (upper part of the photo) contain rutile (Rt), glaucophane and omphacite inclusions...

... called eckermannite by Adamson (1944), on one specimen of hastingsite and one of taramite. The incomplete extinction was found only in sections roughly parallel with (010). On (100), striations parallel with the trace of the c -axis were noted. Copyright © 1956 by the Mineralogical Society of America...
