Argillic Alteration Associated With the Amethyst Vein System, Creede Mining District, Colorado (Illite, Smectite)

Abstract

dc:description

The Amethyst Vein System is an epithermal Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu-Au deposit in the Creede mining district, southwest Colorado. Silicification and argillization are the two dominant facies of hydrothermal alteration associated with the deposit. Most silicification occurs in the intermediate and deep levels of the system and most argillized rock occurs high in the system.
