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.

(2004) ZVMO133_59Mount Kara-Chagyr is in the right side of the middle reaches of the river. Isfayramsy (Osh region, Kyrgyzstan). This place is one of the manifestations of colovratite confined to the zone of distribution of uranium-bearing carbonaceous-siliceous schists stretching for several hundred kilometers along the foothills of the Alaysk Range. They refer to the Early Carboniferous South Fergana melange complex, the serpentinite matrix of which includes large blocks of carbonaceous-siliceous rocks of the Early Paleozoic age bearing vanadium mineralization
