The coesite crystal in the centre of the picture is partially replaced by a rim of quartz. The semi-opaque inclusion in coesite is rutile. Scale bar represents 50 µm. b. Backscattered-electron image of the same object, obtained with a CAMECA SX50 electron microprobe. c. Cathodoluminescence image of the same object.

The scale bar in the lower left corner of the photomicrograph is 20 µm. Only the outermost rim of the coesite crystal is replaced by quartz.
