Much of this work has been
on carbonation of an abundant type of lava, basalt, which contains minor amounts of olivine together with large proportions of alumino - silicate minerals such as
plagioclase feldspar.
since the most common mineral
on the earth / the most probable mineral you might kick while walking are the
plagioclase - feldspars (binary - join: albite to anorthite); silicates, this was hardly any news at all!!!
