Hourglass sector zoning in metamorphic tourmaline and resultant major and trace-element fractionation
- Abstract:
-
A new type of sector zoning, with an hourglass shape, has been identified in metamorphic tourmalines that formed under a wide variety of physical and chemical conditions. The two sectors in the c-direction are not equivalent due to asymmetry in the crystal structure of tourmaline along the c-axis. The c+ sector is characterized by low concentrations of Ti, Ca, Mg, and Na, although Al is high, and has a pale (commonly blue or pale-green) color. Conversely, the c- sector is low in Mg and Al, an...
