  8. Rare blue yoderite replacing kyanite (-talc + quartz). Only found in two places on Earth (Tanzania and Zimbabwe), yoderite forms at high pressure in hot subduction zones from rocks rich in in Mg and Al, poor in alkalis and Ca, in the presence of water and oxidized ferric iron (±Mn).

    Named after Hat Yoder of the Geophysical Lab, CIW.

  28. The Montreal Gem and Mineral Show is happening at the end of the month in the main convention center (Le Palais des Congrès).

    No guarantee of fantastic #Tugtupite or #Kyanite samples, but many others for sure. There's always a good representation of Canadian and Quebec localities.

  38. Repost: Kyanite isn't just a fetching blue mineral that documents the experience of sediments under extreme duress.
    It's an ore: Virginia alone mined 83,000 tonnes in 2023. Kyanite in furnace insulation transforms to mullite when heated, expanding to reduce porosity and shrinkage.

  43. This is one of the dykes found near Ayer's Cliff, just SE of Magog, Quebec. It's a set of three dykes, one of which has the deep-derived xenoliths. That one dyke (not photogenic) has weathered much faster, perhaps due to a higher carbonate content.

  48. A photo of a Cretaceous dyke intruding into Appalachian-deformed sedimentary rocks deposited in the lower Paleozoic: Earth history from 110 to almost 500 million years ago.

    But #kyanite records more of the story: it's part of xenoliths brought to the surface by these dykes that document Grenville crust (1.1 billion years old) at depth.
