Variations in Chemical Compositions of Titanite Group Minerals from Ore Skarns in the Ladoga Lake Region (South Karelia, Russia)
摘要
Titanite, Al- and F-enriched titanite, tin-bearing titanite, and malayaite from ore skarns in the Ladoga Lake region have been studied. The composition of these minerals from skarns with W–Zn–Pb–Bi (Latvasyrja, Jokiranta) and Sn–Zn–Cu–Fe–In (Pitkäranta mining district) mineralization, related genetically to S- and A-type granites, was analyzed. For the first time, Al-rich (Al2O3, 5–7 wt %) and F-rich (~3%) titanite was detected in ore deposits and occurrences in Karelia. The isomorphic substitutions in titanite from skarns with different metallogenic specialization were considered. It is shown that the following isomorphic schemes are realized for studied titanite: (Al, Fe)3+ + F– ↔ Ti4+ + O2–; (Al, Fe)3+ + (OH)– ↔ Ti4+ + O2–, where Al
