Harding Iceland spar: A new δ18O−δ13C carbonate standard for hydrothermal minerals

January 1, 1983

An isotopically homogeneous calcite, Harding Iceland Spar (HIS), having 6180 = +11.78 ± 0.07‰ (= +22.15‰ for CO2) and δ13C = −4.80 ± 0.02‰, has been prepared in quantities suitable for use as a working standard in mass spectrometric analysis. The isotopic values are well-suited for analysis of minerals of hydrothermal origin.
