Sericite

Sericite

Sericite is a fine-grained mica, usually moscovite, more rarely illite or paragonite. It is a common mineral of alteration of orthoclase or plagioclase in places that were subject to hydrothermal alteration, typically associated to hydrothermal deposits of copper and tin, among others. The sericite can also occur in the form of fine mica that gives the brilliant appearance to the phyllites and shale metamorphic rocks. Sericite é uma mica de grão fino, geralmente moscovite, mais raramente illite ou paragonite. Trata-se de um comum mineral de alteração de ortoclase ou plagioclase em locais que foram sujeitos a alteração hidrotermal, tipicamente associada a depósitos minerais hidrotermais de cobre e estanho, entre outros. A sericite pode ocorrer também na forma de mica fina que dá o aspecto brilhante aos filitos e rochas metamórficas xistentas.
