Has anyone heard of a metamorpic rock called Pulzite? I have found one
refrence to it on an obscure little website, but, I cant find it anywhere
else, A friend of mine claimes to have found a nice area to get it, but I
cant even tell her what it is supposed to look like, so I cant confirm or
despute her claim.
If you know what it is, tell me what its major constituants are, and what
presure/temp region it would be created it, what its original rock was, and
how to tell it from other metamorphic rocks if need be. Thanks.

Pulzite ? Britannica has no reference to it so one suspects it is a local
word usuage for some low grade metamorphic in the Himalayas.

TL,
I've never heard of Pulzite. Had a look at the site, and the context
doesn't reveal anything either. Could be any type of metamorphic rock that
occurs in that area - probably alocal name. I notice that they also list
"mica" as a rock - so perhaps "pulzite" is in fact a local name for a
mineral?
cheers

Nope, never heard of it. I assume the website you refer to is this:
http://www.samachar.com/people/y2k0707-stone.html
How about asking Dr R Srivastava indirectly through the interviewer's e-mail
link on the page? |

"Pulzite" is not in any of the glossaries or other references in my library.
Given the context of the cited website my guess would be that "q/p" switch
on a abbreviation for quartzite may have entered into a specimen label. Will

Quartzite is a collector's item ? Crikeys, I know of heaps of this stuff
- is it valuable? Joking
While on the topic of unusual rock names, my nephew's girlfriend, who's
father is a CALM (Conservation and Land Management) officer mentioned
that Australia had the world's only two deposits of, phonetically,
"Essex" or something similar.
Anyone familiar with the jargon? has me beat.

There is a rare silver telluride, Ag_2 Te, called HESSITE that comes from
Western Australia, although it is found in a few other gold/silver districts
around the world. Will E. |

There's an igneous rock called Essexite, but I don't think it's confined to
Australia and one other location.

There is a pallio-essexite at Prospect Hill near Sydney that R. Mitchell
(Dictionary of Rocks) calls a "border-zone rock associated with a nepheline
bearing diorite (incorrectly, essexite) ". Essexite is found in other
localities.

Answering my own question, Essexite is described by Carmichael, Turner
and Verhoogen, P. 38, Igneous Petrology, as another term for Theralite,
olivine gabbros containing Opx, nepheline, brown hornblende and minor
biotite, all presumably under thin section. (Why I never looked at this
in my library can be guessed at - maybe too many bananas affecting my
thinking).
These are rare deposits?

The usual protocol is to post the pic to a website and post the URL. A
number of people here will temporarily lend webspace if you ask nicely.

It's mister to you. I'm not a mount, not even a knoll or a hillock :-)
I use Internet Explorer 6 and Outlook Express 6, so shouldn't be a problem
with my posts.
Keep going on the Essexite thread. It's a rock that certainly needs a bit of
healthy discussion.
