Abstract Anorthite megacrysts are common in basalts from the Japanese Island Arc, and signally rare in other global fields. These anorthites are 1 to 3 cm in size and often contain several corroded Mg-olivine inclusions. The megacrysts generally range from An94Ab4Ot2 to An89Ab6Ot5 (Ot: other minor end-members, including CaFeSi3O8, CaMgSi3O8, AlAl3SiO8, □Si4O8) and show no chemical zoning. They often show parting. Redclouded megacrysts contain microcrystals of native copper with a distribution reminiscent of the shape of a planetary nebula. Hydrocarbons are also present, both in the anorthite megacrysts and in the olivines included within them. Implications of lateral variations in the Fe/Mg ratio of the included olivines, in Sr-content and in Sr-isotope ratio of the anorthite megacrysts with respect to the Japanese island arc, relate to mixing of crustal components and subducted slab-sediments into the basaltic magmas.

Abstract Thallium leucite, TlAlSi2O6, has been synthesized at 450°C for 7 days, under ambient conditions, by the transformation of dehydrated analcime NaAlSi2O6 in the presence of excess TlCl. This substitution of Tl for Na leads to confirmation of a thallium-leucite pseudomorph after analcime. Their optical properties, X-ray powder diffraction patterns, electron microprobe analysis, infrared spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have characterized the synthetic Tl-leucites. The IR spectra show that the mid-IR modes T-O stretching and T-O-T bending vibrations for TlAlSi2O6 are more resemblant of those for analcime than for leucite, KAlSi2O6. This resemblance implies that Tl cation enters the W-site rather than the S-site in the analcime structure: Na (S) + H2O (W) ⇌ ⃞ + K (leucite) ⇌ ⃞+ Tl (Tl- leucite), where ⃞ represents an S-site vacancy. The mechanism of this substitution is supported by the crystal chemical constraints: inasmuch as the S-site is smaller than the W-site, Tl+ cations being larger than Na+ plainly prefer the latter site to the former. One inference from the binding energy for Tl+ by XPS is that Tl+ occupies the extra-framework site in synthetic leucite pseudomorph, rather than the smaller tetrahedral site. The difference in Al/Si disordering between analcime and leucite and the nonstoichiometry due to the solid solution of the ⃞Si3O6 component into the leucite structure may provide a fundamental insight into understanding why TlAlSi2O6 deviates from the trend defined by K-, Rb- and CsAlSi2O6 leucite series on the a-c parameter diagram, inasmuch as these three cations in the leucite structure occupy the W-sites. Finally, synthesis of TlAlSi2O6 leucite has an implication for the existence of other polymorphs due to different degrees of Al/Si disordering, except for high- and low-temperature leucites already known: natural leucites crystallized directly through igneous processes are different from those formed by substitution of K for Na in analcimes.
