Occurrence and mineralogy of the margarite- and muscovite-bearing pseudomorphs after topaz in the Juurakko pegmatite, Orivesi, southern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1988 Margarite- and muscovite-bearing pseudomorphs after topaz are described from the Juurakko pegmatite dyke, Orivesi, southern Finland. A supercritical vapour phase rich in calcium and alkalies caused alteration of topaz and some other silicates during ...

Composites Based on Post-Industrial Wood Plastic Waste and Ultrasonic Treated Muscovite [PDF]
Materials Research, 2023 In this work muscovite was ultrasonically treated to obtain composites with post-industrial wood plastic residues. The muscovite was ultrasonicated for 30 or 60 min and mixed with the polymeric matrix at a constant level of 15% (weight percentage).

Influence of OH- concentration on the illitization of kaolinite at high pressure [PDF]
, 2011 The products of hydrothermal reactions of kaolinite at 300°C and 1000 bars were studied in KOH solutions covering an OH- concentration, [OH-], of 1M to 3.5M. XRD patterns indicated a notable influence of the [OH-] on the reaction.

Potassium at the Origins of Life: Did Biology Emerge from Biotite in Micaceous Clay?
Life, 2022 Intracellular potassium concentrations, [K+], are high in all types of living cells, but the origins of this K+ are unknown. The simplest hypothesis is that life emerged in an environment that was high in K+.

Chemical zoning of muscovite megacrystal from the Brazilian Pegmatite Province
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2007 Macroscopically homogenous muscovite plate from the Cruzeiro pegmatite, located in the Eastern Pegmatite Province in Minas Gerais, may show complex distribution patterns of some trace elements. In geochronological and petrological studies, as for example

Exhumation, crustal deformation, and thermal structure of the Nepal Himalaya derived from the inversion of thermochronological and thermobarometric data and modeling of the topography [PDF]
, 2010 Two end‐member kinematic models of crustal shortening across the Himalaya are currently debated: one assumes localized thrusting along a single major thrust fault, the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) with nonuniform underplating due to duplexing, and the ...
