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: Switzerite
