FIG. 1. SEM images of (a) the typical appearance of massive calvertite, which makes up the bulk of the image. The granular texture is made apparent by the presence of a thin rind of chalcocite (white) on the calvertite grains. The interstitial material consists of pits and heterogeneous oxidation-derived products. (b) Renierite (ren) with inclusions of gallite (gall) cut by calvertite (calv); all are cut by thread-like veinlets of chalcocite (white).

FIG. 11. Replacement reactions can occur under a broad range of conditions. Under near-surface conditions, wood structure in (a) has been replaced by pyrite in the cells and chalcocite between the cells. At higher temperature during skarn formation, pyrite grains in (b) have been partly replaced by magnetite. Under hydrothermal conditions, a fractured crystal of pyrite in (c) has been partially replaced by chalcopyrite and engulfed in bornite. Each texture records at least two episodes in the history of the deposits in terms of conditions and the nature of the initial and replacing fluids. Provenance: (a) from Nacimiento, New Mexico, (b) from Mashan, China, and (c) from Magma, Arizona. Width of field of view is 0.8 mm in each case.
