Environment: Occurs in a carbonatite, a magmatic product of silica-deficient magma differentiation and rich in CO2. IMA Status: Valid Species (Pre-IMA) 1831. Locality: …
Monticellite, grayish silicate mineral in the olivine family, calcium and magnesium silicate (CaMgSiO4), that occurs as small crystals or grains in metamorphosed siliceous …
Monticellite is a relatively rare mineral in the Eifel volcanic field. It has nevertheless been found in several parageneses in Bellerberg. It was first found in calcium-rich xenoliths as …
Italian mineralogist Teodoro Monticelli is the namesake of Monticellite. Monticellite is an uncommon, but widespread mineral that occurs in localities including Italy, Scotland, Ireland, the Unites States, …
Early-formed olivine, phlogopite, monticellite, and apatite are commonly replaced by deuteric serpentine and carbonate.
Occurs in banded iron formations subjected to low-grade regional metamorphism and in MgO riche skarn. Monticellite is also present in kimberlites and in smelting byproducts.
Fine-grained dark amber monticellite overgrowths on micro-melaijolite cores consisting of magnetite, melanite, clinopyroxene, biotite, and apatite (roughly polished sawn surface). …
In these kimberlites, monticellite (Mtc) is abundant (25–45 vol%) and can be classified into two distinct morphological types: discrete and intergrown groundmass …
