Southern Yukon's True Blue aquamarine occurrence is documented in this dataset. The data likely contains mineralogical and geochemical details, including FeO concentrations up to 5.79 wt.% and a mineralization age of 172 ± 5 Ma. It was published by the Government of Yukon on the open_canada platform.
Use Cases
- Analyze beryl mineralization patterns based on its occurrence in quartz veins cutting syenite
- Study geochemical composition based on high Fe2+ concentration and accessory minerals like fluorite
- Correlate mineralization age based on the Sm-Nd dating of fluorite at 172 ± 5 Ma
- Map geological relationships based on the described Paleozoic and Mississippian rock units
Strengths
- Specific geochemical measurement cited: FeO concentration up to 5.79 wt.%
- Mineralization dated with precision: 172 ± 5 Ma using the Sm-Nd system
- Detailed geological context provided for the occurrence location
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
