| Description | Low-temperature fissure mineralization was found in the quarry "U Pustého mlýna" (the Hrubšice serpentinite body, Moravian Moldanubicum). It is formed by rare Mg-, Mg-Fe-hydrocarbonate minerals (hydromagnesite, artinite, brugnatellite, coalingite), followed by aragonite, brucite, dolomite and calcite. Two main stages of genesis have been recognised. The oldest stage of mineralization was relatively Fe-rich, with brugnatellite and coalingite (and brucite), the younger, more extensive Mg-rich stage, produced artinite and four types of hydromagnesite. The youngest minerals of fissures are calcite and dolomite, while the position of aragonite is unclear. Mineral assemblages have formed from low-temperature solutions, which were enriched in Mg2+, at pH ~ 9, with relatively low fugacity of CO2 and temperature lower then 44 stupňů Celsia. |
