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 ID	Locality Notes
Michelle_529	Lord Brassey Mine is known for unique nickel mineral assemblages. The Lord Brassey Mine can be divided into four unique stages of mineralization; magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal and supergene alteration. The magmatic stage formed minerals such as enstatite, forsterite, anorthite, augite, chromite. Little remains as this assemblage has largely been altered to form new minerals.
Michelle_530	Lord Brassey Mine is known for unique nickel mineral assemblages. The Lord Brassey Mine can be divided into four unique stages of mineralization; magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal and supergene alteration. The metamorphic stage is either due to greenschist-facies burial or emplacement related metamorphism. The primary magmatic assemblage has largely transformed to serpentine, chlorite, amphibole, epidote, garnet, and minor prehnite, magnetite, talc, magnesite, opal and chalcedony.
Michelle_531	Lord Brassey Mine is known for unique nickel mineral assemblages. The Lord Brassey Mine can be divided into four unique stages of mineralization; magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal and supergene alteration. Hydrothermal alteration occurs later in the Devonian, producing serpentinite and introducing nickel. It is thought that a Devonian granitic intrusion postdates the serpentinite, introducing calcium, talc magnesite veins and possibly molybdenite and veins of diopside.
Michelle_532	Lord Brassey Mine is known for unique nickel mineral assemblages. The Lord Brassey Mine can be divided into four unique stages of mineralization; magmatic, metamorphic, hydrothermal and supergene alteration. Exposure by glaciation and the following rapid erosion allowed new supergene and alteration mineralization.
