“…All of the Grenville Province marble samples examined here are hosted in part of the Grenville Supergroup (Baillieul 1976;Gerdes and Valley 1994;Chamberlain et al 1999;Bailey et al 2019;Chiarenzelli et al 2019). These marbles are characterized by their abundance of large, well-formed minerals in crystal "pockets" due to the local dissolution of the calcite matrix (Chiarenzelli et al 2019).…”

The origin of an array of marble samples found in both the Grenville Province and southwestern Sri Lanka remains uncertain, whether magmatic, sedimentary, or mixed, due to their proximity to both carbonatite bodies and carbonate-rich metasedimentary rocks. This study reports boron and trace element abundances, in addition to carbon, oxygen, boron, and strontium isotopic compositions in order to determine the petrogenesis of these carbonate-rich samples.Boron abundances for all of the samples are relatively high and variable (1.48 -71.1 ppm) compared to those for carbonatites worldwide (≤ 1 ppm), and mostly overlap those documented for sedimentary sources (up to 54 ppm). The rare earth element (REE) abundances (0.5 -1068 ppm) for the marbles studied are similar to those for local sedimentary units, and thus contain, in general, lower REE contents than both the average worldwide calcio-carbonatite and respective neighboring carbonatite bodies.

“…Relatively large (up to 5 mm) granular aggregates of datolite occur at the Valentine wollastonite deposit in Harrisville, NY. The datolite occurs in association with a large number of calc-silicate minerals, including, but not limited to: Wollastonite, diopside, hedenbergite, andradite, quartz, calcite, prehnite, apophyllite, pectolite, fluorapatite, brewsterite-Ba, and celadonite [40] ( Figure 5).…”

“…At all of the localities in the Adirondacks, datolite is a secondary mineral forming from the breakdown of preexisting high-grade borosilicate minerals (e.g., danburite and/or tourmaline). The source of the boron for the datolite at the Valentine mine is unclear since no boron-bearing minerals have been identified in the any of the pre-existing skarn lithologies [40,41].…”

A Review of Boron-Bearing Minerals (Excluding Tourmaline) in the Adirondack Region of New York State

Boron is a biologically important element, but its distribution in the natural environment and its behavior during many geological processes is not fully understood. In most metamorphic and igneous environments, boron is incorporated into minerals of the tourmaline supergroup. In high-grade metamorphic terranes like that of the Adirondack region of northern New York State, uncommon rock compositions combined with unusual and variable geologic conditions resulted in the formation of many additional boron-bearing minerals. This paper reviews the occurrences and geological settings of twelve relatively uncommon boron-bearing minerals in the southern Grenville Province of upstate New York and provides new chemical and Raman spectral data for seven of these minerals. The boron minerals range from relatively simple metal borates (e.g., vonsenite), to chemically complex borosilicates (e.g., prismatine), to a relatively rare borosilicate-carbonate (e.g., harkerite). Some are of primary igneous origin, while others are formed by a variety of prograde and retrograde metamorphic processes or by metasomatic/hydrothermal processes. Most of the boron minerals are formed within, or adjacent to, metasedimentary lithologies that surround the anorthositic massifs of the central Adirondacks. The metasedimentary rocks are thought to be the source of most of the boron, although additional boron isotope studies are needed to confirm this and to constrain the mechanisms of the formation of these unusual minerals.

“…Of the dozens of interesting mineral occurrences, a few of the most important are the sphalerite deposits of the Balmat-Edwards district (Brown 1936;Chamberlain 1992;Johnson 1998), the talc and tremolite deposits of the Gouverneur-Talcville belt ( fig. 4) (Chamberlain et al 1999;Engel 1947;Nevius 1899), the wollastonite deposits of Harrisville (figs. 5 and 6) (Chamberlain, Robinson, and Smith 1987;Robinson and Chamberlain 1985), the galena deposits of Rossie (figs.…”
