A specific behavior of the heat conductivity and thermal diffusivity of isomorphic carbonates was studied experimentally under normal conditions. A new semiempirical formula was derived for the dependence of the heat conductivity of isomorphic minerals on a metallic ion mass-to-anion mass ratio. It was found that the heat conductivity and thermal diffusivity of carbonates decreased with the increasing of the values of their mean atomic weights (or metallic cation masses).
