Homogenization Experiments of Crystal-Rich Inclusions in Spodumene from Jiajika Lithium Deposit, China, under Elevated External Pressures in a Hydrothermal Diamond-Anvil Cell

Figure 10

Photomicrographs of CIs in spodumene from the Jiajika deposit at room temperature before heating (A-1, B-1, C-1, and D-1) and after the homogenization experiments (A-2, B-2, C-2, and D-2). Note that, after the homogenization experiments, the original daughter minerals failed to nucleate and the corners of the CIs became rounded with slight decreases in the volumes of the inclusions. The length of the scale bar is 10 μm.
