Minas de Villabona (Pozo San Ismael) (Pico Santofirme), Villabona, Llanera, Zona minera de Villabona, Asturias, España
Stratiform deposit, associated with a mineralized fracture.
K+/Na+ in the vein is higher than in the stratiform.
T homogeneization = 80-85 °C.
Presence of albitized cinerites in Permian formations.
Stratiform deposit within conglomerates, stratigraphically below Villabona mineralized layer, brought upwards during Santofirme Carbonifer horst formation.
T homogeneization = 80-85 °C.

| ✪ Baryte Formula: BaSO4 Habit: barite occurs as laminar to tabular crystals having well-formed faces. A pinacoid, two prisms of the same crystallographic zone and one at right angles to them are the predominate forms, but other small forms exist which may correspond to the higher order prisms or even bipyramids Colour: translucent milky white (most common) to gray-blue and pale sky-blue (transparent to translucent) and yellowish white to (rare) golden yellow. Also some pink crystals have been found References: |
