Determinación de cloritas en rocas metamórficas de bajo grado mediante propiedades ópticas.

Determinación de cloritas en rocas metamórficas de bajo grado mediante propiedades ópticas.

Abstract

[ES] La clorita es un mineral fundamental formador de rocas metapelíticas de muy bajo y bajo grado metamórfico. Sin embargo, el tamaño de grano y los finos intercrecimientos con micas no permiten los estudios ópticos detallados de las mismas. Por ello se proponen aquí criterios basados en observaciones ópticas muy simples, fundamentalmente color de interferencia y signo de elongación para conocer de forma aproximada la composición química y clasificación de las cloritas. Se han estudiado 116 muestra correspondientes a las zonas internas de la Cordillera Bética. Su composición se ha determinado mediante microsonda electrónica y/ o difracción de Rayos X. Los datos confirman, de acuerdo con Albee (1962), que la relación Fe/Fe+Mg es el factor determinante fundamental de las característica ópticas de la clorita. La razón Si/A1, por sí sola, no ejerce una influencia real sobre las propiedades ópticas, siendo tan sólo aparente, puesto que ella a su vez depende de la relación Fe/ Fe + Mg. Por otra parte, la intensidad del pleocroísmo está relacionada asimismo con Fe/Fe + Mg. Se observan cuatro zonas composicionales de predominio de pleocroismos fuertes y débiles. Dicha propiedad aporta, pues, un dato complementario para la determinación de la composición de la clorita. Los criterios aquí propuestos permiten aplicar la clasificación de la AIPEA a cloritas de bajo y muy bajo grado de metamorfismo de forma simple y directa.

[EN] Chlorites are essential rock forming minerals in low and very low grade metapelites. Nevertheless their grain size and thin intergrowths with mica do not allow their optic accurate studies. Therefore determinations based on very simple observations, essentially interference colour and sign of elongation, are proposed, in order to try an approach to chemical composition and classification of chlorites. 116 samples of internal zones of Betic Cordillera have been studied. Their compositions have been determined by electron microprobe and/ or X-rays diffraction. The data support the contention of Albee (1962) that the Fe/ Fe + Mg ratio is the essential determining factor of the optic characteristics of chlorites. The Si/A1 ratio in its own is not actually related to optical properties, it is only an apparent relation, since the former is in turn dependent on the relationship Fe/ Fe + Mg. On the other hand, pleocroism intensity is also related to Fe/ Fe + Mg. Four compositional zones of alternately predominant weak and hard pleocroism are observed. So, this property gives complementary data to the determination of the composition of chlorites. The proposed criteria permit the application of AIPEA classification to low and very low metamorphic chlorites in a simple and direct way.
