Slags after iron and steel production also frequently contain the solid solution of FeO-MnO-MgO having characteristic skeleton forms. Transmitted light, magnification 100x, one nicol
Solid solution of FeO-MnO-MgO SEM microphotography, scanning microscopy

Silicates Pyroxenes Feldspars Pyroxenes Melilites Transmitted light, magnification 200x, crossed nicols
Pseudomorphosis of pyroxene Transmitted light, magnification 500x, crossed nicols
In internal structures of silicatesphases the presence of different elements substitutions, which are not present in nature, have been observed. Slags are also characterized by the occurrence of solutions of stable oxide and silicate phases, “pure phases” are rare.
