The mining town of Røros located in central Norway was established in 1644 and it is known of historical mining industry related to copper. Røros was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 on the base of mining culture represented by, e.g., unique wooden architecture. Slag pieces are composed of three parts differing in glass to crystallites ratio. Røros slags are composed of olivine- and pyroxene- group minerals accompanied by sulphides, with glass in the interstices. Temperature gradient and volatiles content were determined as the main factor influencing crystallization process in this material.

Two granite complexes in Egypt, a sodic type and an aluminous type are characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mössbauer spectra (MS) of the sodic granite show a major doublet of ferric (Fe3+) iron that is attributable to octahedral coordination (M1) sites plus/minus a tetrahedron Fe3+ doublet plus/minus a doublet of ferrous (Fe2+) iron on the M1 sites plus/ minus another Fe2+ (M1) doublet and a sextet of Fe3+. The sextet is attributed to -Fe2O3 (hematite) and the other Fe components are due to NaCaFeSi2O6 (aegirine-augite) plus/minus minor contributions from (Ca2(Mg,Fe)5(Si,Al)8O22(OH)2 (magnesium-hornblende). Changes in the quadrupole splitting and width line of Fe2+ ions are likely composition-related. The MS of the aluminous-type granite, on the other hand, shows evidence only of single doublets containing Fe2+ or Fe3+ in the octahedral M1 sites, with parameters that remain almost constant. This consistency implies that the existing minerals – K(Mg,Fe2+)3 (Al,Fe3+)Si3O10(OH,F)2 (biotite), (Mg,Fe)6(Si,Al)4O10(OH)8 (clinochlore), (Na,K)Ca2(Fe,Mg)5(Al,Si)8O22(OH)2 (ferrohornblende and magnesiohornblende) – have similar iron positions. The intensity of iron oxidized (Fe3+/Fe) for the sodic granite is 79.1 to 100% and for the aluminous granite, 28.4 to 38.2%. The observed Fe3+/Fe differences between the two granites are source- -related and consistent with distributions of other redox-sensitive elements.

Alkali pyroxenite (and ijolite) xenoliths occur in the Tertiary Loučná-Oberwiesenthal Volcanic Centre associated with the Ohře/Eger Rift. The alkali pyroxenite xenoliths represent fragments of an intracrustal complex with Sr-Nd isotope ratios consistent with mantle sources of HIMU-affinity. The crystal structure of diopside from an alkali pyroxenite xenolith with the formula (...) and the lattice parameters a = 9.773(2), b = 8.886(2), c = 5.308(1) [] and = 105.89(3) [°] was refined to an R-value of 0.025 for 1174 reflections. The mean interatomic distances are: within theMe1-O6 octahedron <2.067> , within theMe2-O8 polyhedron <2.498> . The last value reflects the occupation of this atomic position by significant amounts of Fe2+ and Ti4+. The enlargement determined for the bond length to 1.657 is in accordance with the site population for this position: (Si1.69Al0.31). The molar ratio Fe2+/Fe3+ determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy is equal to 0.786. The AlIV deficiency in T-sites of clinopyroxene of rims is negligible (up to 0.019 a.p.f.u.) restricted to sporadic local electronmicroprobe analyses. The presence of Fe3+ in the T-position of Si- and Al-poor clinopyroxenes was not confirmed by X-ray structural analyses because of its low quantity. Nevertheless, the Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements (isomer shift of 0.36 mm/s) imply that Fe3+ is present only in the Me1-O6 positions.
