The hydrogen isotope system is used extensively to provide information on the genesis of minerals (e.g., source of fluids and mechanisms of precipitation). The copper isotopic system is less well understood, but has the potential to provide valuable insight on mineral precipitation, particularly supergene Cu-rich minerals. Here we present a rapid and precise method for measuring hydrogen and copper isotopes in semi-precious gem-quality turquoise (Cu(Al,Fe3 +)6(PO4)4(OH)8 · 4H2O ) by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The suitability of standards for instrumental mass fractionation (IMF) calibration was assessed by external precision of SIMS measurements for each standard (2-4‰ for δDIMF and 0.2-0.4‰ for δ65CuIMF). IMF in turquoise was correlated with... |
