Mineral Evolution Database

Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.

Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org

Important Update News

The RRUFF Project (rruff.info) is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at RRUFF.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

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 ID	Locality Notes
MP94_175_001	The Apigania Bay vein system is hosted in marbles and schists of the Blueschist unit. Although the Apigania and Panormos Bay mineralizations are different by more than one feature; they share several geological, mineralogical, and geochemical attributes. These similarities suggest a common origin, but a different evolutionary phase of the same major ore event in the Tinos hydrothermal system.
