Hydrothermal pyrite-quartz vein rock
sketchfab
Locality: Romania Size: 12 cm x 10 cm x 9 cm Formula: Quartz - SiO2 (as gangue mineral); Chalcopyrite - CuFeS2; Pyrite - FeS2; Covellite - CuS (alteration product of chalcopyrite) Description: The simplest hydrothermal deposit to visualize is a vein, which forms when a hydrothermal solution flows through an open fissure and deposits its dissolved load. A great many veins occur close to bodies of intrusive igneous rocks because the igneous rocks serve as heat sources that create convectively driven flows in hydrothermal solutions. Precipitation of the minerals is usually caused by cooling of the hydrothermal solution, by boiling, or by chemical reactions between the solution and rocks lining the fissure.
