Chrome spinel occurs both as gravity-stratified cumulates and as complex orbs, while an Al-rich spinel is both in rocks of the main Dawros magmatic sequence and in an association with an aluminous bronzite, which may originate by recrystallization. It is concluded that while the chrome spinel is certainly of magmatic origin, the aluminous spinel is probably partly of magmatic and partly of recrystallization origin.Read More
