We report here compositions of glassy melt inclusions hosted in sapphires (gem quality corundum) from three alluvial deposits in Montana, USA including the Rock Creek, Dry Cottonwood Creek, and Missouri River deposits. While it is likely that sapphires in these deposits were transported to the surface by Eocene age volcanic events, their ultimate origin is still controversial with many models suggesting...
Gem corundum (sapphire) has been mined from an ultramafic lamprophyre dike at Yogo Gulch in central Montana for over 100years. The sapphires bear signs of corrosion showing that they were not in equilibrium with the lamprophyre that transported them; however, their genesis is poorly understood. We report here the observation of minute glassy melt inclusions in Yogo sapphires. These inclusions are...
. Unconsolidated sediment at the bottom of the Berkeley pit lake is a mixture of detrital silicate minerals derived from sloughing of the pit walls and secondary minerals precipitated out of the water column. The latter include gypsum and K-rich jarosite. The pore waters have a similar pH to the overlying lake waters (pH 3.1 to 3.4), and have similarly high concentrations of dissolved heavy metals,...
