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.

Giersdorf_00000655The Quistiav locality is found within the Pontivy region of France. It is responsible for producing 400 tons of Uranium metal. Uranium in the Pontivy district is usually found intragranitic, the granite is cut by a system of transverse mineralized fractures, preferentially located on the northern part of the Massif. It is within the fractures that the Uranium can be found.

Uranium in the Pontivy district is usually found intragranitic, the granite is cut by a system of transverse mineralized fractures, preferentially located on the northern part of the Massif. It is within the fractures that the Uranium can be found.

From pg. 262: "The precise chronology of these mineralizations is not well established. The uranium veins appear to be the oldest (290-270 Ma by U/Pb dating) but underwent late remobilization processes."
