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.

Michelle_839Glushinskite and weddellite form on dolomite found on quartz in the mine dumps of a historic antimony deposit. The two oxalates are brownish to yellow, sometimes powdery, crusts of yellow color and are not easily distinguished from each other. The author estimates that it is more likely that the mineralization occurred on the mine dumps rather than in the tunnel during a late stage hydrothermal event.
