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.

Michelle_373Gollapalle (CC-5) is of the Chigicherla cluster in the Warjrakarur Kimberlite Field. Narrow pear shaped body emplaced into basement granitoid rocks. Crustal granitoid xenoliths are common with an abundance of kimberlite melt in melt segregations that give the appearance of a conglomerate.
