Ca-Ba-Mn fissure mineralization related to the marble body north of Záblatí near Prachatice, South Bohemia
Abstract
Several minor lenses of dolomitic marble were documented during the detailed geological mapping of the sheet 32-122 Zbytiny (South Bohemia). One of them is located to the north of Záblatí. It is composed of dolomitic marble enclosed in refoliated biotite-cordierite migmatites of the Moldanubian Unit. Accessory silicate mineral assemblage phlogopite-forsterite-clinohumite-chlorite in marble is described, together with young Alpine-type low-temperature fissure mineralization bearing pink clinozoisite, quartz, prehnite, calcite, and K-Ba-feldspars. The mineralogical locality presented is one of historical remnants of mining activities in the region.
