Magmatiset
Magmatiset is a proposed mineral species that would crystallize from high-temperature silicate melts during magmatic differentiation. The term combines magma with the mineral suffix -site and is used in theoretical geochemistry and experimental petrology.
Its described composition is magnesium-iron aluminum silicate with a silicate framework that in models is represented
Formation and setting: In petrogenetic models, magmatiset would form during rapid cooling or through fractional crystallization
Occurrence: There are no verified natural specimens as of now; magmatiset exists primarily in theoretical studies
Significance: If identified in the future, magmatiset could help resolve questions about the early stages of
