Abstract

Raman spectroscopy has been an invaluable method for the non-destructive analysis of fluid inclusions for over 30 years1 and since then it has also been applied to the study of melt inclusions2. While the analysis of gas species in these inclusions is relatively straight forward, the identification of stable and metastable solid phases in inclusions is more challenging due to the limited availability of reference Raman spectra for some minerals. Some examples of inclusions with challenging Raman spectra are discussed below.
