In particular, white mica is a common al tion mineral type ( ludes for example paragonite, margarite, muscovite, phengite, fuchsite, and roscoelite) found in sub- amphibolite facies, orogenic gold systems. The diagnostic absorption features of white micas lude those at 2200, 2350, and 2450 nm that are related to the vibration of hydroxyl groups attached to specific cations (Al3+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Mg2+, Cr3+, V3+, site vacancies) in octahedral coordination that are effectively charge- balanced with the proportion of Si4+ to Al3+ in neighboring tetrahedral layers (this coupled substitution is called “Tschermak substitution”). However, even though pressure appears to be a (the) key driver for Tschermak substitution at higher
