American Mineralogist: Single-crystal elasticity of humite-group minerals by Brillouin scattering https://lnkd.in/gapksQSv Humite-group minerals have long been recognized as important carriers of water and fluorine in subduction slabs. Zhang et al. determined the elasticity of four (F, OH)-humite group minerals (one chondrodite, one humite, and two clinohumite) using Brillouin scattering. The results show that adding fluorine increases the elasticity of clinohumite and chondrodite, which is in contrast to the effect of H2O. Meanwhile, iron has a negligible impact on the bulk modulus of humite-group minerals but significantly decreases the shear modulus of clinohumite. Together with previous experimental results, the authors also analyzed the influence of F, H2O, and Fe content on the density, elasticity, and sound velocities of minerals along the forsterite-brucite join in the MgO-SiO2-H2O system.

This month’s mystery mineral has a unique yellow colour that can also turn white on partial dehydration. It is a hydrous calcium aluminium sulphate mineral and crystallises in the trigonal system.

Did you know mineral sands have concentrations of important minerals such as rutile, ilmenite, monazite, zircon, and garnet? Other heavy minerals found in mineral sands include magnetite, staurolite, sapphire and staurolite. In Australia, three main elements extracted from mineral sand deposits are titanium from ilmenite and rutile sands, zirconium from zircon sands, and thorium from monazite.

American West Metals is advancing the USA’s largest indium resource at the West Desert Project in Utah 🇺🇸. With a renewed focus on onshoring critical metals supply chains, this project is gaining significant attention as the only undeveloped indium resource in the USA. Key highlights: 🔹Only JORC compliant indium resource in the US 🔹33.7Mt @ 20g/t In & 0.1g/t Au for 23.8Moz of indium and 119Koz of gold 🔹One of the largest undeveloped indium deposits globally with significant growth potential 🔹US Geological Survey funding a study into the indium endowment at West Desert Indium is classified as a critical mineral, and the USA currently imports 100% of it. The West Desert Project is well-positioned to help eliminate this reliance by creating reliable domestic supply chains for this vital metal. ➡️View the announcement: https://loom.ly/FHb1ZaE #AW1 #WestDesert #MiningNews #Indium #ASX

The Torre de Moncorvo iron ore deposit in Portugal is part of an ancient geological formation, dating back billions of years. This region, much like the massive iron ore deposits found in Australia's Hamersley Province, was shaped by significant tectonic events. Around 1.4 billion years ago, the breakup of the supercontinent Columbia, also known as Nuna, and the subsequent formation of the Australian continent triggered geological processes that enriched the region with iron. The deposits in Moncorvo, including those at Reboredo, Pedrada, and Carvalhosa, were formed through the accumulation of iron-rich sediments over vast geological timescales. These processes, driven by the tectonic activity and subsequent mineral deposition, led to the formation of significant iron ore reserves. The rich history of these deposits not only reflects the long-term geological evolution but also emphasizes the importance of tectonic forces in creating valuable mineral resources. Today, these ancient deposits continue to be a focus of mining activities, as companies like Aethel Mining work to extract and process the high-quality iron ore. This ongoing exploitation is part of a broader effort to harness the resources formed during these profound geological periods. https://lnkd.in/ernKHdq3
