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.

Locality Notes from all Ages at Locality:
Age IDLocality Notes
Giersdorf_00001020Deposits are associated with a granitic gneiss dome and are stockwork-metasomatic deposit associated with alkaline metasomatism. The ore deposits cluster about centers of albitite bodies and are upward-branching lenses and stocks. Their thicknesses vary from 3-5 meters to tens of meters; they extend horizontally from tens to a few hundreds of meters and extend vertically for 1 km or more.
