Abstract
The material composition of placer (alluvial) dolomite-type nephrite from the Tsipa River in the nephrite-bearing region of the Vitim Highland has been examined. Initial data on the mineral composition of both inner and outer zones of the alluvial dolomite-type nephrite pebbles have been obtained. Placer nephrite is characterized by an inherited staining rim, a small amount of accessory minerals, fine-grained texture, randomly fibrous structure, and elevated alkali content. Chemical composition features of the staining rim formed under exogenous conditions include the development of Mn–Fe hydroxides, with a significant increase in the Fe3+ content and elevated levels of Co and Ba. A genetic relationship has been established between the placer nephrite and its primary source (nephrite from the Kavokta deposit). Comparison between primary and placer dolomite-type nephrite promoted the identification of diagnostic characteristics for conducting expert assessments.
期刊介绍：
Lithology and Mineral Resources is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is given to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes. The major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on the continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal–sedimentary mineral resources. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
