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.
This mineral is using an age reported as an element mineralization period.
O
This mineral is using an age calculated from all data at the locality.
R
The age displayed for this mineral originates from a different, non-child locality.
P
The age displayed for this mineral is the range of ages for this mineral at all of this locality's children.
This mineral's age has not yet been recorded.
This Mineral list contains entries from this locality, including sub-localities. Minerals in bold are reported by mindat.org as occurring directly at this locality, and do not occur at any children (sublocalities) of this locality.Elements at this locality, including sub-localities: AgAlAsAuBBaBeBiCCaCdCeClCrCuDyFFeHKLaMgMnMoNNaNbNdNiOPPbSSbSiSrTeThTiUVWYZnElements from minerals reported directly at this locality: Cu S Structural Groups for minerals in this locality:
Devero Alp of Lepontine Alps. Several new REE-arsenates and REE arsenites were discovered at Mount Cervandone. Three REE oxalates have been found in alpine fissures, lindbergite, moolooite, and deveroite-(Ce), formed by oxalate enriched meteoric water reacting with the REE host rock.
