High Temperature Study of Metamict Steenstrupine

Metamict minerals contain radioactive elements that degrade their crystal structure. Unlike other metamict minerals, annealing process under ambient pressure do not lead to direct recrystallization of steenstrupine.
High Temperature Study of Metamict Rinkite
2013
Metamict minerals contain radioactive elements that degrade their crystal structure. During the annealing process under ambient pressure in argon atmosphere the sample of metamict rinkite recrystallizes to the primary crystalline form at 700°C. Further heating leads to the formation of a new crystalline phase.
