Automated Data Processing of Raman Spectra for Supporting Spinel Origin Determination
pinel is a highly valued gemstone, with its color and quality influenced by trace-element chemistry and crystal structure. Accurate determination of its geographic origin is crucia
Cobalt spinel from Bai Buoi mine, Yen Bai, Vietnam
The cobalt bearing spinel from Lukande, Tanzania, discovered in 2019, has attracted much attention and several papers were published recently (Stephan & Muller., 2022, Krzemnicki e
Quantitative estimation of spinel’s thermal and geothermal history by photoluminescence spectroscopy and its application in spinel origin determination
The thermal history of spinel can not only be used to distinguish the natural spinel from heated and synthetic ones, but also to reveal that the spinel underwent different geologic
