Fluorite origin temperatures in some barite veins in the Sudetes

Abstract

The minimum crystallization temperatures of fluorite from barite veins at Boguszów and Stanisławów in the Sudetes Mts, determined by the homogenization method, permitted the recognition of this mineral as a product of the activity of. moderate- to law-temperature hydrothermal solutions. The determined temperatures varied along the vertical extent of the veins, making possible the calculation of the gradient of crystallization temperature, and to suggest the gradual cooling of the mineral-forming solutions.
