Controls on the stability and composition of amphibole in the Earth’s mantle

open access: yesContributions To Mineralogy and Petrology, 2016
Presented here is a suite of new experiments aimed at quantifying the effects of pressure, temperature, bulk composition, and H[subscript 2]O content on the stability and composition of amphibole in the Earth’s mantle.

Amphiboles: Crystal Chemistry

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2007
This chapter provides an introduction to the crystal structure, crystal chemistry and chemical composition of the amphiboles. It is not an exhaustive treatment; it is intended as an introduction to the material discussed in the following chapters.

Nomenclature of amphiboles

Bulletin de Minéralogie, 1978
The introduction of a fifth amphibole group, the Na-Ca-Mg-Fe-Mn-Li group, defined by 0.50 < B(Mg, Fe2+, Mn2+, Li) < 1.50 and 0.50 < = B(Ca, Na) < = 1.50 apfu (atoms per formula unit), with members whittakerite and ottoliniite, has been required by recent discoveries of B(LiNa) amphiboles.

Differentiating Non-Asbestiform Amphibole and Amphibole Asbestos by Size Characteristics

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene, 2008
Mining or processing asbestos minerals can liberate isolated fibers or fiber bundles regulated as airborne asbestos fibers. Coarsely crystalline amphibole minerals are more common than asbestos in many geologic environments, and disturbance can result in the release of prismatic or acicular single crystals or cleavage fragments resembling asbestos ...

Classification of the Amphiboles

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2007
Classification is always a highly contentious issue, particular when dealing with a group of minerals as structurally and chemically complicated as the amphiboles, and when trying to satisfy the needs and different scientific philosophies of crystallographers, mineralogists, petrologists and geochemists.

ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF AMPHIBOLES

The Canadian Mineralogist, 2006
Major issues involved in the classifi cation of the amphiboles are examined: (1) the role of (OH), Li and Fe3+, (2) the formal defi nition of a root name, (3) irreducible charge-arrangements and distinct species, (4) the use of prefi xes, (5) the principal chemical variables used in a classifi cation procedure, and (6) the use of the dominant ...

Calcic amphibole equilibria and a new amphibole-plagioclase geothermometer

Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 1990
There is currently a dearth of reliable thermobarometers for many hornblende and plagioclase-bearing rocks such as granitoids and amphibolites. A semi-empirical thermodynamic evaluation of the available experimental data on amphibole+plagioclase assemblages leads to a new thermometer based on the Aliv content of amphibole coexisting with plagioclase in

Short-Range Order in Amphiboles

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2007
Extensive spectroscopic, diffraction and theoretical work in the last ten years has shown that short-range order (SRO) of both cations and anions is a common feature of amphiboles (Hawthorne et al. 2005). From an experimental perspective, the problem is that SRO does not obey the translational symmetry of the structure in which it occurs, and hence SRO

Long-Range Order in Amphiboles

Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2007
Comprehensive knowledge of the order-disorder relations in amphiboles is essential to (1) complete understanding of the crystal chemistry of these minerals, and to (2) the use of amphiboles in thermodynamic calculations (e.g., of temperature and pressure of equilibration) where accurate activity models are critical to the accuracy of such treatments ...
