  31. <meta content="The Denchai gem sapphire deposits in Phrae Province, northern Thailand are closely associated with
  32. late Cenozoic alkaline basaltic rocks. The sapphires occur in alluvial placer deposits in palaeo-channels
  33. at shallow depths. Electron microprobe analysis of minor and trace element contents (Fe, Ti, Cr, Ga
  34. and V) of the sapphires indicate the following oxide abundances: Fe2O3 (0.32-1.98 wt.%), TiO2
  35. (0.01-0.23 wt.%), Cr2O3 (<0.01 wt.%), Ga2O3 (0.01-0.03 wt.%) and V2O5 (<0.03 wt.%). Optical
  36. studies of sapphires revealed three types of primary fluid/melt inclusions. CO2-rich inclusions (Type I)
  37. contain three phases (LH2O + LCO2 + V) with the vapour phase comprising <10-15 vol.%. The presence of CO2 was confirmed by microthermometry and laser Raman analysis. Polyphase inclusions (Type II) (vapour + liquid + solid) contain a fluid bubble (20-30 vol.%), an aqueous phase (10-15 vol.%) and several solid phases. Silicate-melt inclusions (Type III) comprise vapour bubbles, silicate
  38. glass and solid phases. Proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis revealed high concentrations of
  39. K (~4 wt.%) as well as Ca (~0.5 wt.%), Ti (~1 wt.%), Fe (~2 wt.%), Mn (~0.1 wt.%), V (<0.03 wt.%), Rb (~70 ppm) and Zr (~200 ppm) in the silicate glass. The Ga2O3 abundances and Cr2O3/Ga2O3 values (<1) of the sapphires favour their formation by magmatic processes. The presence of CO2-rich fluids and high K concentrations in the silicate melt inclusions link the origin of the Denchai gem sapphires
  40. to CO2-rich alkaline magmatism." name="eprints.abstract" />

  305. late Cenozoic alkaline basaltic rocks. The sapphires occur in alluvial placer deposits in palaeo-channels&#13;
  306. at shallow depths. Electron microprobe analysis of minor and trace element contents (Fe, Ti, Cr, Ga&#13;
  307. and V) of the sapphires indicate the following oxide abundances: Fe2O3 (0.32-1.98 wt.%), TiO2&#13;
  308. (0.01-0.23 wt.%), Cr2O3 (&lt;0.01 wt.%), Ga2O3 (0.01-0.03 wt.%) and V2O5 (&lt;0.03 wt.%). Optical&#13;
  309. studies of sapphires revealed three types of primary fluid/melt inclusions. CO2-rich inclusions (Type I)&#13;
  310. contain three phases (LH2O + LCO2 + V) with the vapour phase comprising &lt;10-15 vol.%. The presence of CO2 was confirmed by microthermometry and laser Raman analysis. Polyphase inclusions (Type II) (vapour + liquid + solid) contain a fluid bubble (20-30 vol.%), an aqueous phase (10-15 vol.%) and several solid phases. Silicate-melt inclusions (Type III) comprise vapour bubbles, silicate&#13;
  311. glass and solid phases. Proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis revealed high concentrations of&#13;
  312. K (~4 wt.%) as well as Ca (~0.5 wt.%), Ti (~1 wt.%), Fe (~2 wt.%), Mn (~0.1 wt.%), V (&lt;0.03 wt.%), Rb (~70 ppm) and Zr (~200 ppm) in the silicate glass. The Ga2O3 abundances and Cr2O3/Ga2O3 values (&lt;1) of the sapphires favour their formation by magmatic processes. The presence of CO2-rich fluids and high K concentrations in the silicate melt inclusions link the origin of the Denchai gem sapphires&#13;
  313. to CO2-rich alkaline magmatism.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Definitive version is available online at http://www.minersoc.org/pages/e_journals/minmag.html</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">sapphire, Fluid and melt inclusions, alkaline magmatism, basalt, Thailand.</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260100.html">260000 Earth Sciences &gt; 260100 Geology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2085</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mrs Katrina Keep</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">11 Oct 2007 12:21</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2085;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=2085">item control page</a></p>
