A New Fluid Inclusion Type in Hydrothermal-Grown Beryl

Abstract

The formation of a new fluid inclusion type in beryl is shown. Primarily the inclusion was composed of water-rich stishovite, which was transported from the lower mantle into the upper crust crystallization level via a supercritical fluid or melt. After trapping and phase change, the primary homogeneous inclusion split due to drastic density changes into two parts by the high beryl solubility under such conditions
