The mineralogical and microscopy study showed the occurrence of portlandite and other typical portland-like cements transformation products, such as calcite and aragonite. Subsequently, paragenesis of these carbonates with gypsum promoted quartz dissolution by alcalinolysis, a typical process of arid and semiarid weathering}, keywords = {Granulite}, keywords = {Portlandite}, keywords = {Calcite}, keywords = {Aragonite}, keywords = {Alcalinolysis}, title = {A propósito de la alteración de una variedad comercial de una granulita de Brasil en una plaza pública del norte de Marruecos}, title = {Talking about weathering of a comercial variety of a brazilian granulite in Northern Morocco}, author = {Rubio, Belén and Rey, Daniel and Bernabeu, Ana M. and Vilas, Federico}, }
