In sedimentary dolostones, dolomite is most often associated with calcite, aragonite, gypsum, anhydrite, chert, and halite. Vein deposits of dolomite occur with quartz and other common vein minerals, such as calcite, magnesite, fluorite, siderite, and sphalerite, or with metallic ore minerals such as galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite.Web

Calcite also exhibits replacement texture with Py-I and Py-II (Fig. 5 e). ... The observed variations in the pyrite reveal varied substitution mechanisms responsible for the evolution of the pyrite. Py-I is enriched in Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, and Tl compared to Py-II and Py-III, while Py-II is more concentrated in Cu, As, Se, Mo, Ag, and Sb. ...Web

carbonate phases: high-magnesium calcite (HMC >8.5 mol% MgCO 3), low-magnesium calcite (LMC <4 mol% MgCO 3), and aragonite (Chave, 1954a).

pyrite and specular hematite on Figs. 3.2-3). Other minerals are transparent, translucent, or have an earthy or opaque appearance without reflectance. Oxides and sulfides usually appear opaque and metallic, while silicates and aluminosilicates appear translucent or transparent, especially when observed in a thin section.Web

As a consequence, gypsum typically occurs as layers associated with limestone, dolostone, shale, and rock salt. As seawater evaporates, gypsum is the first 'salt' to be precipitated, followed by anhydrite, halite, and finally sylvite. Usually found with other evaporite and carbonate minerals, such as anhydrite, calcite, dolomite, borax, and ...Web

Minor substitution of K or Cs for Ca and of Al for Si are common. Analcime forms a limited solid solution with pollucite, (Cs,Na) 2 (AlSi 2 O 6) 2 •H 2 O. ... It is a secondary mineral, found with calcite and with other zeolites, that forms in cracks or on cavity walls in igneous rocks and in some schists associated with hydrothermal ore bodies.Web

To date, there is a general consensus that Se is mainly associated with organic matter, may substitute for S in pyrite and accessory sulfides, and may occur as selenides such as clausthalite (PbSe ...Web

Six epizonal gold deposits in the 30-km-long Yangshan gold belt, Gansu Province are estimated to contain more than 300 t of gold at an average grade of 4.76 g/t and thus define one of China's largest gold resources.

The epidote-group minerals (Armbruster et al. 2006) are locally important carriers of Sr due to a common substitution of Sr 2+ for Ca 2+.In igneous and metamorphic rocks, total concentrations of Sr in epidote minerals depend on multiple factors, mainly on bulk Sr content, P-T conditions, fluid-rock interaction and presence of other potential Sr …Web

Some calcite specimens contain euhedral crystals, but many are rhombohedral cleavage fragments like those in Figures 14.361 and 14.362.

1. Introduction. Sphalerite and pyrite are two widely occurring minerals in sulfide deposits, and it is common for sphalerite and pyrite components to be heterogeneous in sulfide deposits due to a variety of factors (temperature, pressure, pH, etc.) (Cook, 1996, Cook et al., 2009, Kelley et al., 2004).Many divalent cations (e.g., Fe, …Web

The Huize Zn–Pb–Ag deposit in SW China has an ore reserve in excess of 5 Mt. with an ore grade of ≥25 wt% Zn + Pb and 46–100 g/t Ag. This deposit is hosted in Carboniferous dolostone and limestone.
