Mineral Evolution Database
Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.
Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org



The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

Locality Notes from all Ages at Locality:
Age IDLocality Notes
Jen_0000789MAGMATIC STYLE: Dykes and veins. ASSOCIATED SILICATE ROCKS: Fenite.
Jen_0001121MAGMATIC STYLE: Dykes and possible dolomitized carbonatite tuff. ASSOCIATED SILICATE ROCKS: There are extensive peralkaline granites but their relationship, if any, to the carbonatites is not clear. Basic dykes and brecciated peridotite also occur.
