A Microsoft® Visual Basic software, called WinGrt, has been developed to calculate and
classify wet-chemical and electron-microprobe garnet supergroup mineral analyses. The …

The general chemical formula of garnet can be expressed as X 3 Y 2 (ZO 4) 3 where X, Y,
and Z represent dodecahedral, octahedral, and tetrahedral sites, respectively. Lithium …

Garnets have been known to man since time immemorial and are used in a wide variety of
applications as well as being prototypes of useful synthetic materials. Our investigations …

Abstract The Qozlou Fe skarn deposit is located at the Abhar–Mahneshan belt of the Central
Iranian Zone. It is associated with Upper Eocene porphyritic granite that intruded into the …

It is well known that some garnet compositions can incorporate hydrogen and/or fluorine at
levels up to several wt%. However, accurate measurement of these elements can be difficult …

Titanium-bearing (hydro) andradites from hydrothermally altered mantle section of the
Nagaland ophiolite, India have been investigated for mineral chemical study. In …

In this paper, grandite core with Grs64±1Adr36±1Sps2 composition was crystallographically
studied. This core represents zone A of the macroscopically visible five A–E zones of the …

Cubic garnet (space group Ia\overline 3 d) has the general formula X3Y2Z3O12, where X, Y
and Z are cation sites. In the tetragonal garnet (space group I41/acd), the corresponding …

Numerous techniques are available to determine the amount of Fe2+ and Fe 3+ in minerals.
Calculating Fe2+ and Fe 3+ by charge-balance using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) …

Two isotropic grossular (ideally Ca3Al2Si3O12) samples from (1) Canada and (2) Tanzania,
three optically anisotropic grossular samples (3, 4, 5) from Mexico, and one (6) anisotropic …
