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.

(2014)10.1016/j.rgg.2014.01.008RGG55_237spodumene pegmatites of the South Sangilen belt crystallized from melts in the presence of reduced C–O–H–N fluids—typical components of deep fluid flows (Kyznetsova, 2011; Kuznetsova and Prokof’ev, 2009). The detected features of the trace-element and fluid compositions of the pegmatites suggest the influence of mantle fluids on the mineralization, which was one of the factors contributing to the formation of the Tastyg large Li deposit (Kuznetsova, 2009, 2011).
