How does quartz replace fluorite?
Hydrothermal Activity:
Mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids move deep within the Earth’s crust.
Chemical Replacement:
Silicates in the hydrothermal fluids react with fluorite, gradually forming quartz.
Crystal Growth:
Quartz crystals grow on the structure of fluorite, preserving the original fluorite shape.
This process results in quartz crystals that have the form of fluorite.
