Fractional crystallization, or crystal fractionation, is one of the most important geochemical and physical processes operating within crust and mantle...

the sulphate sources of (giant) gypsum crystals using gypsum isotope fractionation factors". The Journal of Geology. 124 (2): 235–245. doi:10.1086/684832...

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic...

eruptions. Upon cooling, a crystal mush may experience different Igneous differentiation processes, such as crystal fractionation, mixing, melting. To create...

Geology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth' and λoγία (-logía) 'study of, discourse') is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other...

Inclusions are common in peridot crystals but their presence depends on the location where it was found and the geological conditions that led to its crystallization...

insight into the origin of pegmatitic melts and their relative degrees of fractionation. Granitic pegmatites are commonly ranked into three hierarchies (class...

most magmas tends to increase the silica (SiO2) content, mainly by crystal fractionation. The initial composition of most magmas is basaltic, albeit small...

radioactivity. For most stable isotopes, the magnitude of fractionation from kinetic and equilibrium fractionation is very small; for this reason, enrichments are...

injection of magma. The variety in mineralogy was credited to simple crystal fractionation. The next model introduced whole rock geochemistry data and determined...

on geologically relevant time scales. Geologists subsequently found considerable field evidence of such fractional crystallization. When crystals separate...

upon its viscosity, which is determined by temperature, composition, and crystal content. High-temperature magma, most of which is basaltic in composition...

Used in geology, hydrogeology, soil science, and building science, the porosity of a porous medium (such as rock or sediment) describes the fraction of void...

rocks, there are other minerals which show elemental fractionation. The interplay between fractionation in monazite and these other minerals has a great impact...

magnesite-fluid isotope fractionation factors, since fractionation is temperature dependent. Reported magnesite-fluid O and C isotope fractionation factors in literature...

abrasives. All species of garnets possess similar physical properties and crystal forms, but differ in chemical composition. The different species are pyrope...

well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form. The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds...

Massif of the Bay of Islands ophiolite: Evidence for high-pressure crystal fractionation of oceanic basalts. Journal of Geophysical Research, 87(B10), 8717...
