Inclusions can be a sort of fingerprint of the place of dicovery. Thus inclusions show us under which geologic conditions minerals had formed. This allows conclusions on the place of discovery. The article deals with the different kinds of inclusions, her conditions of build, which minerals do often have inclusions and how they appear. (Full text in german) |
