Location: |
Glen Gairn diorite. Scotland, Britain |
Major Minerals: |
Haemoilmenite, sphene, magnetite, pyrite |
Minor Minerals: |
Pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, TiO2 minerals |
Trace Minerals: |
Include pentlandite |
Textures: |
Exsolution has occurred between ilmenite-haematite to form haemoilmenite. Sphene forms overgrowths on iron-titanium oxides or as large discrete crystals. Pounded inclusions of pyrrhotite and pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite (due to the breakdown of iss) are present within sphene and amphibole |
