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.

Age IDLocality Notes
Michelle_541Cervená vein is at the level of the Daniel adit near the Rovnost shaft. This area was used for radon water storage for spa in Jáchymov, known as Step's springs, the leaking water from the vein structures and enriched in U-ore deposited on the footwalls provided very high activity. Primary ore veins cut metasedimentary rocks in the contact aureole of a Variscan granite pluton. Veins were deposited by mesothermal fluids. More than 420 minerals of primary and supergene origin are found at this locality. A tertiary basalt dyke cuts ore veins. Ore lens body is located on the hanging wall, with supergene mineralization deposited on the footwall
