Nickeloan tourmaline (up to 0.531 apfu Ni) associated with nickeloan talc (0.511-0.582 apfu Ni) or chromian muscovite is developed in magnesite-quartz veins hosted in ultramafic talc + magnesite ± hematite ± chromian muscovite hydrothermal alteration located in Uspenskaya Gorka, eastern flank of the Berezovskoe gold deposit, Middle Urals, Russia. The unusual Nirich composition of the silicates reflects the geochemical environment of formation. Tourmalines are represented by light and dark green needles in aggregates up to 2 cm in length. Crystals are characterized by a strong pleochroism, from colorless to green. Keywords: nickeloan tourmaline, nickeloan talc, chromian muscovite, ultramafic talc-carbonate alteration, Berezovskoe gold deposit, Urals, Russia.
SOMMAIRELa tourmaline nickelifère (jusqu'à 0.531 apfu Ni) associée au talc nickelifère (0.511-0.582 apfu Ni) ou à la muscovite chromifère s'est développée dans des veines à magnésite + quartz recoupant des zones d'altération hydrothermales ultramafiques à talc + magnésite ± hématite ± muscovite chromifère situées à Uspenskaya Gorka, sur le flanc oriental du gisement aurifère de Berezovskoe, dans les Ourales moyennes, en Russie. La composition inhabituellement enrichie en Ni des silicates découle du milieu géochimique de formation. Mots-clés: tourmaline nickelifère, talc nickelifère, muscovite chromifère, altération ultramafique à talc-carbonate, gisement aurifère de Berezovskoe, Ourales, Russie. §
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
