5Tubussis Farm 22, Dâures Constituency, Erongo Region, NamibiaEMPA analysis of a zoned crystal with an andradite core and grossular rim. This analysis is from the garnet core. The analysis was performed using a Cameca SX100 electron microprobe at the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES), the Australian National University (ANU) with operating conditions of 15 kV acceleration voltage, and 20 nA beam current focused to 1 mm. Natural and synthetic minerals were used as standards. Fe valence states is calculted.
6Itrafo, Ampanivana area, Andrembesoa, Betafo District, Vakinankaratra, MadagascarSample: Brown-green crystal. Method: JEOL JXA-8200 electron microprobe in wavelength-dispersive mode under the following conditions: 15 kV accelerating voltage, 15 nA beam current, and count times of 60 seconds on peaks and 30 seconds on the background. The following standards were used: natural grossular (for Si and Ca),banorthite (Al), fayalite (Fe), olivine (Mg), rhodonite(Mn), omphacite (Na), ilmenite (Ti), K-feldspar (K), and pure V and Cr for those elements. The raw data were corrected for matrix effects using a conventional ΦρZ routine in the JEOL software package.
