About this document
Quartz Texture Classification in Epithermal Veins by Juan Enrique García Rivera is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides a classification of 13 quartz textures found in epithermal veins based on observations of specimens and thin sections from over 20 deposits. The textures are defined based on the geometric relationships between crystals/aggregates and their internal features. Most textures can be identified in hand samples, while a few require microscopic analysis. Common textures include massive, crustiform, colloform, moss, comb, zonal, mosaic, feathery, flamboyant, and various pseudobladed textures
