Sapphire is, without a doubt, the most famous of the blue gemstones spread across the globe. Sapphire is used as a descriptor of all types of corundum that aren’t red, but its name has become just as associated with blue as other classic gemstones are with their dominant colors. Sapphire’s incredible hardness and deep beauty have made it a favorite for jewelry for much of human history. Lyell, Sir Charles (1834).

"Cryogenian Glacial Habitats as a Plant Terrestrialisation Cradle – The Origin of the Anydrophytes and Zygnematophyceae Split". Frontiers in Plant Science. 12: 735020. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2021.735020. ISSN 1664-462X. PMC 8829067. PMID 35154170. The granitoids all center around granite, a fairly equal mixture of quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar. As you remove alkali feldspar from proper granite, it becomes granodiorite and then tonalite (mostly plagioclase with less than 10% K-feldspar). Recognizing tonalite takes a close look with a magnifier to be sure that alkali feldspar is truly absent and quartz is abundant. Most tonalite also has abundant dark minerals, but this example is almost white (leucocratic), making it a plagiogranite. Trondhjemite is a plagiogranite whose dark mineral is biotite. This specimen's dark mineral is pyroxene, so it's plain old tonalite. A shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs; very low energy; contains silt and clay. Example in Google Earth: East Matagorda Bay, Texas.

What is the geothermal gradient along the Tana River? To determine the horizontal geothermal gradient, determine the distance between the two points you used for estimating the metamorphic temperature. W. B. Harland (1990). A geologic time scale 1989.
