Origin and evolution of nephrites, diopsidites and giant diopside crystals from the contact zones of the Pounamu Ultramafics, Westland, New Zealand

Alan F. Cooper

Summary: Diopside-rich rocks (diopsidites) are found interlaminated with nephrite in New Zealand's Westland region, formed through metasomatic contacts between Pounamu Ultramafic meta-serpentinite and Alpine Schist. Petrographic analysis reveals that the parental tremolite rock, created through metasomatic diffusion during metamorphism, has undergone intense deformation and recrystallization, resulting in alternating semi-nephrite and nephrite domains formed during the development of crenulation cleavage. The formation of diopsidites, containing accessory epidote, uvarovite, and zincian chromite, is controlled by the fluctuating activities of SiO2, CaO, and H2O in associated fluids. These diopsidites are then further overlain by coarse-grained diopside crystals, which are believed to have filled an extension fracture formed during ongoing uplift of the Southern Alps.

Dissolution precipitation creep as a process for the strain localisation in mafic rocks

Amicia L. Lee et al.

Summary: This study investigates the significant role of dissolution-precipitation creep in the deformation of gabbro bodies under upper amphibolite facies conditions. The research reveals that original minerals dissolved and precipitated as new mineral phases, indicating that dissolution-precipitation creep is the dominant deformation mechanism. Furthermore, the fluid-assisted transformation process facilitates diffusion creep at lower stresses and temperatures.

Nephrite of Bazhenovskoye Chrysotile-Asbestos Deposit, Middle Urals: Localization, Mineral Composition and Color

Evgeniy Kislov et al.

Summary: Nephrite bodies of serpentinite type were found in the Bazhenovskoye chrysotile-asbestos deposit in the Middle Urals, with a variety of colors and mainly composed of tremolite. Chromite and chrome grossular affect the quality of the ornamental stone, while serpentine and talc also decrease the quality. The nephrite in the deposit meets the requirements for an ornamental stone and has a combination of metasomatic and metamorphic processes in its origin.
