| Description | The occurrence of columnal euhedral „biotite“ crystals with focus on their crystallochemical properties, mineral inclusions and alteration products from granodioritic rocks of the „Kralovo Pole“ unit, Brno Massif, have been studied. Micromorphological descriptions, microprobe analysis and X-ray powder diffraction were used to investigate the chemical and structure changes and the mechanism of biotite breakdown into Fe-rich vermiculite during the alteration processes. |
