A field-mapping and crystal-chemical study of two aluniteand halloysite-rich deposits in the Turplu area, situated northwest of Balıkesir on the Biga Peninsula of northwest Turkey reveals a mineralogically diverse and a potentially economic clay deposit. The mineral assemblage along fault zones is dominated by halloysite and sometimes alunite. The alunite is nearly end-member in composition (a ...

the zonouz kaolin deposit is located ~15 km northeast of marand, east-azarbaidjan province. based on physical features in field investigations, such as color, five distinct kaolin types including (1) white, (2) lemon, (3) gray, (4) brown, and (5) yellow are distinguished in the deposit. field evidence and petrographic studies indicate that the deposit is genetically close to trachy-andesite roc...

Rare sulphate of nickel, retgersite, was identified on the one specimen collected dump Lill shaft, Březové Hory ore district, Příbram (Czech Republic) in 1990s. The consists quartz gangue with dominant millerite and sphalerite. Retgersite forms light blue to blue-green curved fibrous microcrystalline aggregates up 2 mm size vitreous lustre, growing surface small outer vugs supergene altered gan...

The Shatak Formation, comprising a part of the Mashak Suite (RF2), is located on western slope Southern Urals. It consists various rock types, including sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerates, polymictic sandstones, aleurolites, and carbonaceous clayey shales, well igneous picrites, basalts, dacites, rhyodacites, rhyolites, volcanogenic–sedimentary tuffs tuff breccias. In this article, oxyflu...

The Huoshaoyun zinc–lead deposit, a giant non-sulfide deposit in Xinjiang, is one of the most significant discoveries China and globally recent years. dominated by non-sulfides, with minor occurrences sulfides such as sphalerite, galena, pyrite. minerals include smithsonite, cerussite, anglesite, Fe-oxide. This study focuses on mineralogical characteristics sulfide ores, well trace element Mine...
