New insight into biotite weathering in the subtropic …

1. Introduction. Weathering of biotite is generally considered to produce expandable 2:1 clay minerals and kaolins, in association with release of nutrients such as K, Fe, and Mg for plants (Moon et al., 1994; Kretzschmar et al., 1997; Singh et al., 2010; Li and Zhou, 2020).The resulted clay minerals from weathering of biotite can absorb and …

A model for the formation of carbonatite-phoscorite

A detailed electron microprobe study has been carried out on the compositional variations of mica and apatite from carbonatites, phoscorites and associated pyroxenites (and fenites) of the Loolekop deposit, Palabora Carbonatite Complex (South Africa). Mica in pyroxenites and fenites is Mg-rich biotite, whilst micas in carbonatites …

The Swaershoek and Alma Formations (Waterberg Group) overlie the unconformity-bounded Glentig Formation. The Glentig Formation has been correlated with the Swaershoek and Alma Formations, but neither the source rock characteristics nor the tectonic provenance of these formations have been studied in the past. Hence, this …

Biotite mica: The mineral Biotite information and pictures

Biotite is a very common form of mica. It is named in honor Jean Baptiste Biot (1774 - 1862), a French physicist, mathematician, and astronomer who researched the mica minerals for their optical properties. Because of Biotite's abundance, its presence is usually lacking in collections except for it being an accessory mineral to other minerals ...

The Magmatic–Hydrothermal Transition in Lithium …

Similar features have been identified in lithium pegmatites at Vredefort, South Africa, and attributed to heating due to meteorite impact (Rajesh et al. 2020). However, in Zimbabwe, there are no recognized events that might have caused heating of the Kamativi pegmatite, with the Umkondo mafic magmatism in the area being somewhat older than the ...

Mica and vermiculite in South Africa

sheet mica has not been marketed in South Africa since 1970, except of the order of 50 to 200 kg per year in cer-tain years. Sheet mica has always been a scarce commodity because it makes up only a small portion of the total mica in pegmatites, and the perfect quality, ruby mica, is not available from South African pegmatites. Effective sub-

Biotite stability in peraluminous granitic melts

Considering that the system investigated is relevant for Ca-poor peraluminous biotite-bearing rocks (metapelites), the biotite dehydration curves obtained are used to discuss the melting reactions and the temperatures that lead to the formation of two distinct types of two-mica granites found in the South Bohemian batholith (specifically the ...

Journal of Metamorphic Geology

Biotite-rich fringes commonly occur at the margins of pseudomorphs; the fringes are commonly around 0.5 mm wide and dominated by biotite grains that are up to 0.5 mm long. Ilmenite grains within biotite are aligned parallel to cleavage . Biotite-rich fringes may contain subhedral plagioclase and rounded zircon grains.
