Stop while you can!
How do you determine the mineralogy? Thin Section and use an ion probe or a SEM with EDX Mineralogy and composition of specific minerals. Poor job of fine grained secondary phases such as clays and oxy-hydroxides X-ray diffraction Gives mineralogy, including fine grained phases and clays. Does not give the specific mineral compositions. Geologic/Hydrologic Information A good guess.

Isotopes -isotopes 13C 34S PHREEQC treats each isotope as a separate component. Calcite is no longer CaCO3 it is now: CaC12.999C13.001O3 PHREEQC does NOT handle fractionation processes. NETPATH handles fractionations, but does not allow uncertainty in the concentrations measurements.
Mixing Use -Mix to make a starting solution, and use this as the initial solution.
Olivine MgSiO4 FeSiO4 Mg-calcite MgCO3 CaCO3 solid solutions - use a mixture of the end members individually -balances used to force balancing of an element not in the solid phases For example, Cl- to quantify evaporation in a soil. Evaporation - include H2O as a heterogeneous phase “precipitation” of H2O = evaporation
Suggestions: Try to only change one thing at a time. The solid phases are important. It helps to look at the solids! Many minerals are messy, but the variations in composition can be important. The model results will only be as reliable as your understanding of the hydrochemical system.
