Abstract

Chromite seams from the lower Critical Zone, Farm Ruighoek, Bushveld complex contain chromite grains with centrally located silicate inclusions. The existence of chromite-rich immiscible liquid is postulated on the basis of these silicate inclusions. Chromitite textures indicate that most chromite crystallized directly from the magma and settled to the floor of crystal accumulation accompanied by chromite-rich immiscible droplets that had crystalline margins. . . . The major role of the chromite-rich immiscible liquid may have been to enrich the granular accumulations of chromite by gravity accumulation and crystallizations in place.
