phlogopite in a sentence
Examples
- The phlogopite crystals have been used to determine the age of the dike and its crystallization temperature ( 900 �C ( 1, 650 �F ) ).
- Phlogopite is the magnesium endmember of the biotite solid solution series, with the chemical formula KMg 3 AlSi 3 O 10 ( F, OH ) 2.
- Secondary ( metamorphic ) minerals include chlorite, amphibole, sodic plagioclase, quartz, iron oxides and rarely phlogopite, baddeleyite, and pyrope or hydrogrossular garnet.
- Minor minerals and mineral groups in peridotite include plagioclase, spinel ( commonly the mineral chromite ), garnet ( especially the mineral pyrope ), amphibole, and phlogopite.
- Other minerals may include serpentine, clay minerals, carbonate minerals, phlogopite, ilmenite, perovskite, spinel, apatite, pyrite and, in some cases, diamonds.
- Modal metasomatism may result in formation of amphibole and phlogopite, and the presence of these minerals in peridotite xenoliths has been considered strong evidence of metasomatic processes in the mantle.
- The second is Phlogopite, which remains stable up to 900 �C and is used in applications in which a combination of high-heat stability and electrical properties is required.
- It occurs in association with alstonite, barite, barytocalcite, calcite, daqingshanite, fluorite, huntite, monazite, phlogopite, pyrite, sphalerite, strontianite, and quartz.
