Mineral Evolution Database
Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.
Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org



Only display mineral occurrences with a max age below:  and a max age above:    
Alternately, only display mineral occurrences without an age:


  • This page displays localities at which this mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the mineral at these localities.


    • Minerals queried: Phurcalite
