Figure 4EA. Image and EDS spectra of inclusions in altered Ni-poor spinel associated with Ni-poor phlogopite (phl) from the margin of an altered spinel + pyroxenes symplectite (on the vertical axis of EDS spectra is the relative peak intensity of each element). The inclusions host several alkali and volatile-rich minerals including phlogopite, dolomite, apatite, bradleyite, alkali-carbonates (e.g. zemkorite), chlorides (e.g. halite) and Ni-Fe sulphide. Note the variable BSE response of spinel due to variations in Cr, Al, Fe, Mg and Ti contents.
