Sericite is the name given to very fine, ragged grains and aggregates of white (colourless) micas, typically made of muscovite, illite, or paragonite. [1] Sericite is produced by the alteration of orthoclase or plagioclase feldspars in areas that have been subjected to hydrothermal alteration (also see Sericitic alteration ) typically ...

Named in 1852 by Karl/Carl List from the Greek seirος meaning "silken". A term for a fine-grained white, pale green to oily greenish mica, mainly Muscovite (rarely Paragonite). Neoproterozoic to Quaternary : 670 Ma to 1.3 ± 0.1 Ma - based on 27 recorded ages. A chromium-bearing variety of sericite. See also fuchsite.

2023年4月23日 · Sericite is a type of mineral that belongs to the mica group. It is a fine-grained, muscovite mica with a silky luster and is typically white, gray, or pale yellow in color. Sericite is found in a wide range of rock types, including metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks.

These specimens are replacements of silvery-golden muscovite mica (variety "sericite") after trapiche habit cordierite-indialite. The form creates a very beautiful pattern, not unlike ... © Brian Kosnar - Mineral Classics. Muscovite (Var: Sericite) King County, Washington, USA.

Sericite is a common alteration mineral of orthoclase or plagioclase feldspars in areas that have been subjected to hydrothermal alteration typically associated with copper, tin, or other hydrothermal ore deposits.

Sericite, fine-grained variety of either of the silicate minerals muscovite and paragonite

Sericite is name given to very fine, ragged grains and aggregates of white mica – usually muscovite – produced by the alteration of feldspars or other minerals. Included grains of zircon or other radioactive minerals may form pale pleochroic halos in surrounding muscovite.
