Mineral Evolution Database

Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.

Important Update News

The RRUFF Project is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at RRUFF.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional. Existing RRUFF.info links will resolve to the new site after RRUFF.net is officially released.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

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_839	Glushinskite 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.
