Sakarcıburnu (Muratdağı)
Kütahya, Muratdağı region (Gediz), Turkey
Epithermal depositsSb
- Type
- Hot-spring stibnite (post-Miocene silica-carbonate deposits)
Muratdağı antimony region (western Turkey), more than ten intermittently mined occurrences: post-Miocene mineralisation tied to silica-carbonate deposits of active or fossil hot springs, on downthrown blocks of NW-SE normal faults and in contact with carbonate rocks (Muratdağı mélange, Aşağıbelova Formation, Miocene sediments); acicular stibnite, antimony ochres and kermesite, late quartz and calcite. Gökçe and Spiro (1994): stibnite from -3.6 to -0.7 ‰ in δ34S, sulfur ascribed to the mafic and ultramafic rocks of the mélange; meteoric fluid of about -7 ‰ near 140 °C. Epigenetic pockets and veinlets in limestone blocks and pebbles, fluid discharged at surface and flowed downslope ("Sakarciburnu" in the article). Stibnite GC-40 at -1.7 ‰, close to mafic and ultramafic rocks. Coordinates not published (simplified geological map only).
