Abstract
Amethysts in Eonyang Granite of Woolju-Kun, Kyungnam Province are frequently parallelly grown on top of preexisting smoky quartz crystallized on milky and colorless quartz crystals, which, as a whole, resemble "mushroom" in outer appearance. Fluid inclusions in the amethysts may be grouped into (1) gaseous inclusions (G>L), (2) liquid inclusions (L>G), (3) $L_{CO_2}$-bearing inclusions (L+G+$L_{CO_2}$), (4) halite-bearing inclusions (L+G+halite), (5) multiphase inclusions (L+G+halite+sylvite${\pm}$opaque mineral). In addition, euhedral K-feldspars and acicular hematite crystals are included in colorless-milky quartz and deep purple-red quartz, respectively. Filling temperatures of each type of fluid inclusions were measured as follows: $320{\sim}560^{\circ}C$ for gaseous inclusions; $100{\sim}290^{\circ}C$ for liquid inclusions; $200{\sim}310^{\circ}C$ for $L_{CO_2}$-bearing inclusions; $300{\sim}430^{\circ}C$ for halite-bearing inclusions; and $370{\sim}430^{\circ}C$ for polyphase inclusions. The finished-gem amethysts from Eonyang may be distinguished from Brazilian amethysts by the difference in filling degree of gaseous inclusions by the presence of hematite aciculae, and of $L_{CO_2}$-bearing inclusions, and also by the absence of Zebra-striation structure. They may also be differentiated from synthetic amethysts by presence of straight color banding, solid inclusions, and $L_{CO_2}$-bearing inclusions which are not found in synthetic materials.
경남 울주군 삼남면 일대에 분포하는 언양화강암내에 발달하는 자수정결정은 하부에서 상부로 가면서 무색수정${\rightarrow}$백수정${\rightarrow}$연수정${\rightarrow}$자수정 순으로 평행연정으로 산출되며 전체외형이 버섯모양과 흡사하다. 수정내에서 관찰되는 유체포유물은 기체포유물(G>L), 액체포유물(L>G), 함$L_{CO_2}$포유물(L+G+$L_{CO_2}$), 함소금포유물(L+G+halite), 다상포유물(L+G+halite+sylvite${\pm}$opaque mineral) 등이며, 고체포유물로는 자형의 카리장석이 무색과 백수정에, 침상의 적철석이 자수정에 특징적으로 내포한다. 유형별 유체포유물의 균일화온도 범위는 기체포유물이 $320{\sim}560^{\circ}C$, 액체포유물이 $100{\sim}290^{\circ}C$, 함$L_{CO_2}$포유물이 $200{\sim}310^{\circ}C$, 함소금포유물이 $300{\sim}430^{\circ}C$, 다상포유물이 $370{\sim}430^{\circ}C$이다. 보석으로서의 언양자수정은 액체포유물의 충진도, 적철석과 함 $L_{CO_2}$ 포유물의 출현, 그리고 얼룩말무늬가 없는 점이 브라질자수정과 다르며, 자색대상구조, 고체포유물, 함 $L_{CO_2}$ 포유물 등의 존재에 의해 합성자수정과 구별된다.
