| Description |
English: Hydrothermal vein quartz (SiO2) intruding quartzose sandstone at the Coleman Quartz Mine in Arkansas, USA.
The Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas were formed during the Late Paleozoic Ouachita Orogeny. That mountain forming event was accompanied by the intrusion of hydrothermal quartz veins in some areas. The Coleman Quartz Mine allows for close examination and collection of spectacular quartz crystals from these veins. In the picture, the whitish material is a hydrothermal quartz vein of Late Pennsylvanian to Permian age. It has intruded brownish-colored host rocks of quartzose sandstones of the Middle Ordovician Blakely Sandstone. Location: Coleman Quartz Mine, south of Jessieville, northern Garland County, west-central Arkansas, USA (34º 39.700' North latitude, 93º 06.072' West longitude) |
