Pressurized Fluid Inclusions

Pressurized fluid inclusions are tiny pockets of fluid trapped within minerals during their formation. These inclusions can contain water, gases, and other substances, often under high pressure. They provide valuable information about the conditions and environment in which the mineral formed, such as temperature and pressure. Scientists study these inclusions to gain insights into geological processes, like the movement of magma or the formation of ore deposits. Essentially, they are like time capsules that capture the history of the Earth's processes at a microscopic scale.
