In this study, we use petrographical observations integrated with major and trace element composition of hydrothermal magnetite and pyrite and sulfur isotope composition of sulfides and barite from the Thanewasna Cu ± Au deposit to (1) characterise the deposit type, (2) establish the sources of the ore-forming fluids, (3) understand the genetic aspects of the …
Since the pyrite paragenetically replaces pre-existing magnetite, care needs to be taken in interpreting pyrite chemical trends in isolation as many of the elemental trends mimic and reflect inheritance through scavenging of metals from early formed magnetite (e.g. Steadman and Large 2016), while several of the divergent trends can be explained ...
The retrograde stage can be subdivided into early and late processes. In the early retrograde stage, magnetite, amphibole, and phlogopite were the main minerals to form (Supplementary Fig. 2b-d), whereas sulfide and carbonate, such as sphalerite, pyrite, and siderite, formed during the late retrograde stage (Supplementary Fig. 2e-f).
The Vathi porphyry Cu-Au±Mo deposit is located in the Kilkis ore district, northern Greece. Hydrothermally altered and mineralized samples of latite and quartz monzonite are enriched with numerous rare and critical metals. The present study focuses on the bulk geochemistry and the mineral chemistry of pyrite, chalcopyrite, magnetite, and titanite. …

Pyrite and chalcopyrite are the main sulfide phases that overprint magnetite-rich D 3 shear zones, while siderite replaces magnetite in association with sulfides in many samples …
The flat time-resolved signals of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) imply that trace elements exist mainly in the form of isomorphism in magnetite and pyrite with the exception some incompatible trace elements (e.g., Ca, K and Na in magnetite and Pb, Bi and Ag in pyrite).
The first explanation involves a chemical remanent magnetization (CRM) acquired when new magnetic minerals (primarily magnetite) formed long after the formation of the rocks. The …
We interpret magnetite-bearing mafic bodies, and magnetite- and pyrrhotite-rich schists to be the source of regionally extensive, isoclinally folded anomalies which are …
Jacobsite-Magnetite Series. Magnesioferrite-Magnetite Series. Magnetite is an important, strongly magnetic iron ore, along with hematite. Nanoinclusions of magnetite crystals cause the iridescence of Rainbow obsidian (Nadin, 2007). Extremely thin layers of 200-nm octahedral crystals of magnetite give some basalt surfaces an iridescent sheen (Nadin, 2007).
Introduction. Pyrite and magnetite are some of the most common accessory minerals in many ore deposits. They form over a large spectrum of geological and hydrothermal conditions and incorporate various trace elements into their structure (e.g., Carew, 2004; Reich et al., 2005; Rusk et al., 2009; Large et al., 2009; Dupuis and Beaudoin, 2011; Ciobanu et al., …
Magnetite and Pyrite is a good combination for working on physical health as this combination purifies the blood and boost immunity. When you pair Pyrite with Opalite, you create the perfect manifesting conditions. If you are about to give up, try these two crystals together and see how they encourage you to keep pushing for your goal. ...
Magnetite was observed replacing pyrite occurring as crystals in spherical pseudoframboids or with nonspherical shapes.
Magnetite-apatite (MtAp) deposits are an important source of iron and critical metals, yet their ore genesis is poorly understood. ... Kaersutite, apatite, pyrite, and cuprite standards were ...
The coexistence of marcasite and pyrite was achieved by controlling the sulfur content in the hydrothermal process, and surface magnetite was realized by controllable oxidation. The typical composite particles presented the regular spherical size of 5 to 7 μm and could degrade 41.2 % MO as well as reduce 98 % Cr(VI).
We analyzed the formation mechanism of framboidal magnetite from three aspects: material source, framboidal pyrite formation process and metasomatic process and explained its …
S 0 drives the sulfidation of magnetite to pyrite via the polysulfide pathway. • Pyrite growth after magnetite sulfidation proceeds via particle attachment. • Proxies and biosignatures in magnetite are likely altered or erased by sulfidation. • Hydrothermal pyrite may be a secondary product from magnetite sulfidation.

The formation of pyrite/marcasite was studied as a function of reaction time, temperature, pH, sulfide concentration, solid-weight-to-fluid-volume ratio, and geometric …
1. Introduction. Pyrite and magnetite are some of the most common accessory minerals in many ore deposits. They form over a large spectrum of geological and hydrothermal conditions and incorporate various trace elements into their structure (e.g., Carew, 2004; Reich et al., 2005; Rusk et al., 2009; Large et al., 2009; Dupuis and Beaudoin, 2011; Ciobanu et al., …
The effects of pyritization are not only evident in modern sediments. Pyrite is abundant in the uplifted Neogene sequences of New Zealand, and magnetic extractions have yielded abundant paramagnetic ilmenite, which is more resistant to dissolution than ferrimagnetic iron oxides [26], but only minor amounts of titanomagnetite [14], [19], [27] (occasional …
Framboidal pyrite is made of "microscopic spheroidal to sub-spheroidal clusters of equidimensional and equimorphic microcrystals" (Ohfuji & Rickard, 2005). It represents the dominant form of pyrite in sedi-mentary rocks. The formation of pyrite framboids is often assumed to involve four steps: (a) precipitation
Abstract We provide an understanding of the microwave absorption characteristics of hematite, magnetite and pyrite by measuring and comparing the microwave heating rate, dielectric and magnetic properties and the absorbed microwave energy. The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and supplement each other. Magnetite showed the …
We experimentally demonstrated the rapid sulfidation of nano-magnetite to pyrite under conditions similar to those prevailing in sulfidic hydrothermal habitats. The transformation of magnetite to pyrite occurred within 19 days (80 °C, pH ∼7) and was faster in the presence of …
It consists of a brownish-black mineral called magnetite. Lodestones are natural compasses: Suspend one by a thread or wire and it will rotate until its magnetic field is aligned with Earth's magnetic field. ... But importantly, the rocks also contained a small amount of an iron-bearing mineral called pyrite. First, the team used a strong ...

Magnetite was observed replacing pyrite occurring as crystals in spherical pseudoframboids or with nonspherical shapes. Fine-grained magnetite, consisting of aggregates of one or more rounded single crystals, approximately 2000 Å (200 run) in diameter, could not be observed in thin sections of New York carbonates due to its small size but was ...
pyrite was replaced by the magnetite, but left the crystal shape of magnetite still the same with pyrite. Metasomatic pseudomorph texture is a typical product of aqueous activity. Previous studies have shown that troilite can form pyrite in the solar system environment, and these initial pyrite components may be form the framboidal pyrite ...
A 'new' type of arsenian pyrite was formed during experimental replacement of magnetite under hydrothermal conditions (T = 125 and 220 °C; P sat) and in the presence of S(-II) and various As-containing species.The amount of As in pyrite depended on the As-source, with sources containing cationic As (As(II), As(III) and As(V)) resulting in considerably higher …
Pyrite (aka "fool's gold" or "iron pyrite") is a metallic looking material with numerous applications. Its chemical formula is FeS 2, meaning that it is a compound made up of iron (Fe) and Sulphur (S).
Magnetite is the principal ore in these types of skarn deposits which its grade yields from 40 to 60 %. Chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite are the minor ores. Cu (Au, Ag, Mo, W) skarn deposits. The tectonic setting for Cu deposits tends to be the Andean-type plutons intruding older continental-margin carbonate layers.
Pyrite's name comes from the Greek phrase, 'pyrite lithos,' which means 'stone which strikes fire.' ... and most of our iron is produced from magnetite and hematite deposits. Those iron oxide minerals occur in larger concentrations …
