Mineralogy of Silicocarbonatite
Essential minerals - these are minerals that are required within the classification of this rock:
| Rhombohedral Carbonate | (Ca/Mg/Fe/Mn etc)CO3 |
Non-essential minerals - these minerals are common, sometimes major components, but are not always present:
| Alkali pyroxene | A petrological name for the sodium-rich pyroxenes aegirine and aegirine-augite. |
| Feldspar | A petrological term for Feldspar Group. |
| Mica > Biotite | K(Fe2+/Mg)2(Al/Fe3+/Mg/Ti)([Si/Al/Fe]2Si2O10)(OH/F)2 |
| Mica > Phlogopite | KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 |
| Olivine Group | M2SiO4 |
| Sodic amphibole | A petrological term for amphibole rich in sodium. |
