| Abstract | Carlosturanite, a mineral with a serpentine-like structure, grows mainly with a Þ brous habit. We have analyzed samples with both pure carlosturanite and associations of carlosturanite and chrysotile using micro-Raman spectroscopy, a quick and non-destructive method of identifying different materials and mineral phases through direct analysis of bundles of Þ bers. Raman analysis was carried out on samples after Þ rst submitting them to chemical and mineralogical analysis using traditional techniques, i.e., scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with results evaluated in light of energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD). This approach allowed us to determine the Raman spectrum associated with carlosturanite. Micro-Raman spectroscopy makes it possible to identify the different phases in these associations of minerals. |
