- Borates (suanite and szaibelyite) in serpentinized carbonates
Two mining areas on either side of a fold hinge, treated as a single district by Hu et al. (2015): suanite-szaibelyite borates in serpentinized carbonates, with anhydrite. Hu et al. (2015): borates from +8.6 to +14.5 ‰, δ34S of borates, marbles and anhydrites from +11.6 to +24.7 ‰; boron and sulphur from a marine evaporitic setting.
