$20.00
Garnet is among the most studied—and most beloved—minerals, owing to its commonality in diverse geologic contexts, its often large euhedral crystals, its sometimes dazzling colors, and its propensity for preserving information about its growth history. Chemically zoned garnet represents a remarkable tool for deciphering metamorphic conditions and the evolving tectonic processes that drive garnet growth over many millions of years.

Garnet is among the most studied—and most beloved—minerals, owing to its commonality in diverse geologic contexts, its often large euhedral crystals, its sometimes dazzling colors, and its propensity for preserving information about its growth history. Chemically zoned garnet represents a remarkable tool for deciphering metamorphic conditions and the evolving tectonic processes that drive garnet growth over many millions of years. In the deep Earth, garnet is a key rock-forming mineral, influencing the physical properties of the mantle and the composition of mantle-derived magmas. Garnet has been sought for ages as a semiprecious gemstone (the birthstone of January) and has been mined or synthesized (including nonsilicate garnet) for industrial purposes, including laser, magnetic, and ion-conductor technology. This issue of Elements emphasizes the most recent innovations in thermodynamic, geochemical, geochronologic, and industrial applications of garnet, while providing perspective on decades of garnet-related research.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
