Important Update News

The RRUFF Project has been migrated to RRUFF.net. Please update your bookmarks immediately, if you have not done so.

The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.

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
Michelle_353	Granitic pluton surrounding the Farallon Negro Capellita volcanic center. Sample taken from pegmatite lens from the southern portion of the batholith.
Michelle_354	Sample taken from a miarolitic pocket of tourmaline pegmatite in the immediate host rock of the Capillita Volcanics. Granite rock is fine grained, non-megacrystic
Michelle_356	One of three samples from the main Farallon Negro volcanic complex. Monzonite porphyry stock that cross cuts metamoprhic rocks in the Bajo de San Lucas area.
Michelle_357	One of three samples from the main Farallon Negro volcanic complex. Sample is a hydrothermally altered andesite porphyry from the Bajo El Durazno mineralized zone. Contains phenocrysts of altered hornblende and biotite in a matrix of sericite, quartz and minor clay minerals.
