Gemmological and Spectral Characteristic of Afghanite
-
摘要: 阿富汗石(Afghanite)是1968年于阿富汗Badakhshan(巴达赫尚省)发现的一种矿物,与市面上常见的阿富汗玉不同,为似长石结构的一种钙霞石矿物。通过常规宝石学测试、X射线粉末衍射、电子探针、傅里叶红外吸收光谱等测试方法对阿富汗石样品进行了分析。结果表明,阿富汗石样品的主要矿物组成为阿富汗石(Afghanite),含有微量的钾钙霞石(Davyne)及利钙霞石(Liottite)。通过紫外-可见光吸收光谱测试,结果显示,阿富汗石样品在可见光(400~700 nm)区域内仅透过蓝光及少量红光,使其呈现蓝色,600 nm处可能与S3-在轨道之间的跃迁有关,400 nm处可能与S2-和SO42-离子的电荷转移有关,说明阿富汗石蓝色的颜色成因与S元素有关。Abstract: The afghanite is found in Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan, in 1968, which is quite different from the white "Afghan jade" on the market.The afghanite is a calcareous mineral like the feldspar. In this paper, the authors studied the gemmological and spectral characteristics of afghanite samples by means of conventional gemmological tests, X-ray diffraction(XRD), electron microprobe(EPMA), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometer(UV-Vis). The main mineral component of the afghanite samples is afghanite, containing trace davyne and liottite. In order to preliminarily study the colour forming mechanism of afghanite, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometer(UV-Vis) result showed that only blue light and a amount of red light are transmitted in the visible region (400-700 nm), thus showing the blue colour of afghanite. The absorption peak at 600 nm may be related to the transition of S3-, and peak at 400 nm may be related to the charge transfer of S2- and SO42- ions. It indicated that the colour of afghanite is related to sulfur element.
