Wolframite-quartz veins

Wolframite-quartz vein deposit in a Yanshanian granite. According to Zhang (1988), wolframite at about +5 ‰ and quartz at about +12 ‰, formed at about 300 to 350 °C from re-equilibrated magmatic water of W-Sn granites. According to Liu et al. (2011), a large quartz-wolframite vein deposit in the Hukeng granitic intrusion (Wugongshan, central Jiangxi), in three stages (quartz-wolframite, quartz-fluorite-wolframite, quartz-pyrite-sphalerite-wolframite), dated at 150.2 ± 2.2 Ma (Re-Os isochron) and 147.2 ± 1.4 Ma (muscovite Ar-Ar); mostly magmatic fluid. Mindat coordinates (to the minute). Indicative coordinates.
