Three columbite-group minerals from Ratnapura, Sri Lanka
Three oxide minerals belonging to the columbite group, including columbite–(Mn) (MnNb2O6), columbite–(Fe) (FeNb2O6), and fersmite (CaNb2O6), were found in specimens from gem placers in Ratnapura district, Sri Lanka. We present results of chemical, structural and spectroscopic analyses, including the first Raman spectrum for natural fersmite. For columbite–(Mn) and columbite–(Fe), analytical results obtained before and after dry annealing in air indicate low degrees of accumulated self-irradiation damage, which corresponds well with low actinide concentrations.
期刊介绍:
Mineralogy and Petrology welcomes manuscripts from the classical fields of mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, crystallography, as well as their applications in academic experimentation and research, materials science and engineering, for technology, industry, environment, or society. The journal strongly promotes cross-fertilization among Earth-scientific and applied materials-oriented disciplines. Purely descriptive manuscripts on regional topics will not be considered.
Mineralogy and Petrology was founded in 1872 by Gustav Tschermak as "Mineralogische und Petrographische Mittheilungen". It is one of Europe''s oldest geoscience journals. Former editors include outstanding names such as Gustav Tschermak, Friedrich Becke, Felix Machatschki, Josef Zemann, and Eugen F. Stumpfl.
