The study of the magnetism of the rocks of the Earth's crust has played a major part in this transformation. Rocks, or more specifically their constituent magnetic minerals, can be regarded as a measuring instrument provided by nature, which can be employed in the service of the earth sciences.
Featuring subtle lithological alterations in the host rocks and containing colossal gemstone crystals, the scheelite deposit at Xuebaoding in the Pingwu region of Sichuan Province exhibits characteristics typical of a vein-like hydrothermal-type deposit. The scheelite from the Xuebaoding region is renowned for its high saturation of color, …
This is likely due to the influence of lower CaO contents on alteration minerals, which promote rock porosity, affecting rock deformation, pore-fluid flow, and reacting with wall rocks. ...

Wen-Tian Li, Shao-Yong Jiang, De-Liang Liu, Mei-Zhen Yang, Pan-Pan Niu; Formation of Large to Giant Porphyry Mo Deposits: Constraints From Whole-Rock and In Situ Mineral Geochemistry of Causative Magmatic Rocks in the Tongbai-Hong'an-Dabie Orogens, Central China.
In other words, the crystal produces a double image of objects viewed through it. Because they polarize light, calcite crystals are used in special petrographic microscopes for studying minerals and rocks. Many non-silicate minerals are referred to as salts. The term salts used here refers to compounds made by replacing the hydrogen in natural ...
Rock-forming minerals are minerals that are commonly found in the Earth's crust and are responsible for the formation of various types of rocks. These minerals make up the majority of the Earth's crust and are the building blocks of rocks, which are aggregates of minerals. Rock-forming minerals are typically silicate minerals, which …
China is a large country with a land area of approximately 9.6 million km2. It is a major producer of many commodities hosted within numerous mineral deposit types.
Minerals and rocks generally have diagnostic spectral absorption bands in the spectral range of 400–2500 nm. Hyperspectral remote sensing can effectively capture spectral characteristics.
Archean supracrustal rocks from the Qingyuan area of the northern Liaoning terrane, the North China Craton, occur as enclaves or rafts of various scales within tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) domes. They were normally subjected to metamorphism at amphibolite facies with locally granulite facies. We collected biotite two …
Rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is naturally occurring and inorganic, and has a distinct chemical formula and crystal structure. When minerals form in open spaces, their crystal form is apparent (Fig. 1A). However, most minerals occur in an interlocking network with other minerals to form different kinds of rocks (Fig. 1B). Figure 1. (A) Individual …
