High Sulphidation, Vuggy Silica – Textural Atlas
The Vuggy Silica/Quartz textural atlas has been updated. Vuggy silica textures are formed by the dissolution of phenocrysts and clasts by hot and strongly acidic fluids that are generated during the cooling and crystallization of near surface intrusive bodies. Vuggy silica is often mineralized but is also a strong indicator »
