On solid inclusions in Iceland spar
Abstract
The study of inclusions in minerals is of great theoretical and practical importance. It allows us to more fully decipher the genesis of minerals, and consequently, to more correctly carry out an industrial assessment of their deposits. The study of inclusions in minerals that are raw materials for the optical industry, and, in particular, in Iceland spar, is especially important, since it reveals the nature of the main defects that prevent the use of crystals of these minerals for practical purposes. Iceland spar contains widespread solid, liquid and gas-liquid inclusions. This article highlights the results of the study of solid inclusions. The study of solid inclusions allows us to clarify a number of essential issues of the genesis of Iceland spar, as well as to explain the nature of defects in the optical material.
