Secondary minerals in the geyserites of the Geysers Valley (Kamchatka)
Secondary minerals assemblages that are deposited from thermal solutions at the top of geysers (Velikan, Bolshoy) were investigated. It is established that assemblages are represented mainly by opal and high-silica zeolites (mordenite and heulandite). As conditions of feeding hydrothermal reservoir...

| Summary: | Secondary minerals assemblages that are deposited from thermal solutions at the top of geysers (Velikan, Bolshoy) were investigated. It is established that assemblages are represented mainly by opal and high-silica zeolites (mordenite and heulandite). As conditions of feeding hydrothermal reservoir change, minerals of the kaolinite group and smectites may appear. |
