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_0000563MAGMATIC STYLE: Two small tuffisite-filled diatremes, the larger of which is about 40 m in diameter. Carbonatite occurs as blocks. ASSOCIATED SILICATE ROCKS: Leucite-bearing phonolitic pyroclastic rocks occur some 200 m away, fragments of which occur in the larger Polino diatreme.
