Article Synopsis
- Carbonate minerals are widespread on Earth and contain valuable fluid inclusions that help scientists understand past environments through chemical analysis.
- A new method using confocal laser Raman spectroscopy allows for precise measurement of bicarbonate and carbonate ions, as well as pH levels, from these fluid inclusions in calcite without damaging the samples.
- Research on Icelandic spar calcite revealed specific concentrations and pH levels, indicating that the mineral formed in a reducing environment, which can provide insights into historical geochemical conditions.
