Abstract:
The chemical compositions and mineral structures of the placer type gem-quality andesine samples from Guyang County, Inner Mongolia, are preliminarily studied by using the XRD, EPMA, LA-ICP-MS.The results show that the unit cell parameters of the and esine samples from Guyang are:
ao=0.8167nm,
bo=1.2811nm,
co=0.7109nm, α= 93°43', β=116°16', γ=89°58'.The chemical formulas of the two representative samples(G-1, G-2) are respectively K

3, where the Eu is positive anomalies and the light rare earth elements are more enriched than the heavy rare earth elements.Through the △2
θ(131-1 \overline31)=1.91, the order degree is 0.5 and the formation temperature is about 700℃ of the samples, which indicates that the andesine samples from Guyang may come from the volcanic or plutonic environment with medium-high temperature.
