..., chlorite and/or, biotite, along with several less common secondary minerals, including mainly paragonite, tourmaline, and secondary beryl. The mixture is a common product of early subsolidus hydrothermal alteration at the examined pegmatites of the beryl-columbite subtype – Věžná I and Drahonín...

...Xian Wang; Jiankang Li ABSTRACT Beryl and phenakite are important industrial beryllium minerals. In the hydrous melt of the BeO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 –H 2 O (BASH) system, experiments using quench-type high-temperature and high-pressure equipment have revealed that the different activities of Al 2 O 3...

...Štěpán Chládek; Pavel Uher; Milan Novák ABSTRACT We studied compositional variations in columbite group minerals (CGM) from several granitic pegmatites of the beryl-columbite subtype in the Maršíkov district, Silesian Domain of the Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic. The CGM are characterized...

...Gerhard Franz; Oleksii Vyshnevskyi; Michail Taran; Vladimir Khomenko; Michael Wiedenbeck; Ferry Schiperski; Jörg Nissen Abstract We investigated emerald, the bright-green gem variety of beryl, from a new locality at Kruta Balka, Ukraine, and compare its chemical characteristics with those...

... of the pegmatite is principally composed of quartz, albite, muscovite and spodumene. Initial sampling indicates that microcline is sparse and occurs in the spodumene zone and in rare miarolitic cavities. Montebrasite, beryl, cassiterite, almandine–spessartine series garnets, fluorapatite and columbite group...

...Lars Olov Andersson Abstract Trivalent iron ions substituting for Al 3+ are present in many beryls and are abundant in dark red and dark blue beryl. These ions do not contribute any color to the crystals. Dark blue beryl also contains octahedral Fe 2+ ions, which are involved in giving the crystal...

...Radoslaw Markus Michallik; Thomas Wagner; Osmo Tapani Rämö; Pasi Heikkilä Miarolitic pockets from the 1628 Ma Luumäki pegmatite in SE Finland contain gem-quality beryl (heliodor) within a matrix of reddish hematite, biotite, muscovite, chlorite, quartz, kaolinite, and bertrandite. Two different...

... in a beryl–columbite–phosphate rare-element pegmatite where it is commonly intergrown with triphylite–lithiophilite or sarcopside, and may form by exsolution from a high-temperature (Li,Ca)-rich graftonite-like parent phase. It occurs as pale-brown lamellae 0.1–1.5 mm wide in triphylite, and is pale brown...

... discovered in phosphate nodules of two beryl–columbite–phosphate pegmatites at Lutomia and Michałkowa, respectively, in the Góry Sowie Block, Lower Silesia, southwest Poland. Graftonite-(Mn) is pinkish brown, whereas graftonite-(Ca) shows more brownish colouration. Both minerals have a vitreous lustre...

...Raji Kurumathoor; Gerhard Franz Beryl crystals from Minas Gerais (Brazil), Lumäki (Finland), Sichuan (China), and the Himalayas have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy in order to characterize the shape of etch pits on different crystal faces. The objective was to find out whether...

... Selwyn Basin strata. Euhedral beryl crystals (<0.5 × 5 cm) are present in approximately half of the 26 outcropping veins. Most of the crystals are opaque to translucent and colorless to yellowish and grassy green. Less than 5% of the beryl is transparent, bluish green, and can be considered pale...

... ). Considerations of the chemistry of tourmaline and scapolite associated with emerald and beryl, data from fluid and solid inclusions in these minerals, thermodynamic calculations, and mineral thermobarometric data confirm that Be originated from the pegmatites, transported in a moderately saline aqueous fluid...

... emerald beryl stable isotopes Alps Switzerland The Feldbäch Binntal emerald occurrence is located in the Binn valley, Valais, in southwest Switzerland ( Fig. 1 ). In 1982, a green beryl from this region was exhibited during the mineral show in Zurich ( Mumenthaler & Frey 2003 ). This led...

... as an alteration product of beryl or bertrandite. The type locality is the Montecatini Quarry, Baveno, Lake Maggiore (Novara Province, Piedmont, Italy; Artini, 1901 ). The mineral was first found at Strzegom (Striegau), Silesia, Poland and described as pilinite ( von Lasaulx, 1876 ). A museum specimen of pilinite...

... the feldspar, quartz, and sericite. This mineral assemblage is, in part, the result of the alkaline nature of the melt that leads to the formation of helvine-group minerals rather than beryl. The epitaxial overgrowths of genthelvite on danalite are particularly unusual because these two minerals do not coexist...

... concentrations. The granites exhibit a light pink colour and contain mainly albite, quartz, muscovite, lithian muscovite, and lepidolite, with minor amounts of amblygonite–montebrasite, herderite, fluorapatite, topaz, and cassiterite, as well as accessory beryl and goyazite. Electron microprobe analyses...

... chemical analyses were performed on six samples of a rare red variety of beryl, using a standardless method (Calibration Free-LIBS) for quantitative data. Preliminary analyses by Raman spectroscopy and VIS-NIR reflectance spectroscopy showed that two of the six samples were pezzottaite. The LIBS spectra...
