Calcite vein UNC sample Rock type Locality
Calcite vein This vein of calcite was formed as fluids entered an openspace fracture during alteration of this rock Notice how the orange and red grains of kaersutite (amphibole) match up Minerals in this rock include quartz, plagioclase, biotite, and Kfeldspar UNC sample NC108 a Rock type biotite granite Locality North In addition to calcite veins, minerals in harzburgite could also give insights into the possible formation conditions Marques et al (2007) suggested that spinels with Mg/Fe > 1 and Al/Cr > 1 indicated mineralized conditions through the studies on spinels from early and evolved stockwork, steatite, and semimassive sulfide samples The ratios of Mg/Fe and Al/Cr in spinels of the sample E22 are higher Precipitation of Calcite Veins in Serpentinized Calcite and quartz are both common, almost ubiquitous in limestone veins Obviously, the calcite is reprecipitated limestone The groundwater chemistry undergoes cycles according to recharge characteristics, temperature, pressure and partial geology How does quartz form in calcite veins? The gangue minerals are garnet, tourmaline, vesuvianite, diopside, tremolite, wollastonite, etc, and plentiful coarsely crystallized calcite, dolomite, and ankerite Graphite and corundum may be found at such contactsVein Mineral Deposits 911 MetallurgistGibson Road East: Collecting in the Calcite VeinDykes, 2019 By David K Joyce and Raymond McDougall The land around Gibson Road East, near Tory Hill, Ontario abounds with calcite veindykes and the minerals that we often associate with calcite veindykes, particularly fluorapatite, titanite, amphiboles, microcline and phlogopiteGibson Road East: Collecting in the Calcite Vein

This variation in host rock likely influenced the variety of minerals encountered In addition to calcite, the dominant minerals in George’s veindikes are feldspar and amphiboles But sprinkled between the large crystals are many apatites, an occasional titanite, and probably some other goodies Fluorite, calcium fluoride, is a very common mineral found in many kinds of deposits It is abundant as both masses and crystals in hydrothermal ore veins Hydrothermal Minerals Earth Sciences Museum A vein deposit is sometimes referred to as a (metalliferous) lode deposit A great many valuable ore minerals, such as native gold or silver or metal sulphides, are deposited along with gangue minerals, mainly quartz and/or calcite, in a vein structureVEIN DEPOSITS Earth Sci Primary sulfide ore minerals include pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and electrum which typically account for less than 3% of the vein material The primary sulfide minerals were oxidized locally as deep as 400 m below the actual surface and principal ore minerals in the oxidized zones are electrum, gold, silver and acanthiteVein carbonates in the low sulfidation epithermal Au Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) results are reported for newly identified silver–bearing minerals from the Xinhua deposit, Yunkaidashan area, South China The Xinhua deposit is a hydrothermal vein–type Pb–Zn deposit and is hosted in the Pubei Complex, which consists of a cordierite–biotite granite with a U–Pb zircon age of 2443 ± 18–2519 ± 22 Ma The mineralization Silver–bearing minerals in the Xinhua hydrothermal
