Lechatelierite in Moldavite Tektites: New Analyses of Composition
Abstract
Experimental studies with SEM-EDS analyses on moldavite tektites and their lechatelierite inclusions show a complex composition with the formation participation of SiO2, SiO, and Si, which explains the acid resistance and the reduced softening point.
