We have developed a method for high precision measurement of stable Fe isotopes by multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS), utilizing a57Fe–58Fe double spike to correct for instrumental mass bias. Polyatomic interferences of40Ar14N+,40Ar16O+and40Ar16O1H+on Fe isotopes are minimized by the use of a desolvating nebulizer and pseudo-high resolution mass spectrometry with typical mass resolutions of 3300, 3100 and 2700 on54Fe+,56Fe+and57Fe+, respectively. Sample-standard bracketing with double spiked IRMM-014 Fe isotope standards accounts for residual tails from these interferences beneath the Fe ion peaks. A range of analytical tests demonstrates that it is possible to attain internal precisions (2 se) of ±0.02 to 0.04‰ on a single 15min analysis. Long-term reproducibility (2 sd) of ±0.02‰ was obtained by replicate (n=51) analyses of IRMM-14 over a 6-month period. Replicate digestions and analyses of the basalt standard BHVO-2 (δ56Fe=+0.128±0.019‰) demonstrate that this external reproducibility is also obtainable on natural samples. Utilizing this new technique, we present high precision stable Fe isotope data for a range of international reference materials (BHVO-2, BCR-2, JB2, BIR-1, AGV-2, JA1, GSP-1, JG3a, JR1, RGM-1 and JF2). Data for this range of igneous standards (basalt, andesite, granodiorite, rhyolite) are in good agreement with previously published values obtained by high precision sample-standard bracketing techniques, and highlight that BIR-1 is the best calibrated standard available with a reference δ56Fe value of +0.052±0.009‰ (95% c.i.). Other reference values for BHVO-2, BCR-2, JB2, BIR-1, AGV-2 are also presented. Stable Fe isotope data for the JF2 alkali feldspar from a pegmatite are markedly heavy (δ56Fe=+0.816±0.025‰), perhaps due to the incorporation of isotopically heavy magmatic Fe3+into the feldspar mineral structure during crystallization.
