Abstract/NotesThe tremolite nephrite deposit in Dahua county, Hechi City, Guangxi province, China is a new genetic type of nephrite deposit. It is hosed by Mg-poor limestone ( 1.30 wt.% MgO) and intruded by diabase ( 45 wt.% SiO2). The Mg and Si contents of these rocks are lower than those of the tremolite (58.18 wt.% SiO2, 13.18 wt.% CaO, 24.16 wt.% MgO), indicating an obviously insufficient source for the metallogenic material that generated the deposit. In particular, some tremolite nephrite ore bodies have no clear contact metamorphism between the host and intrusive rocks, which have the characteristics of stratified mineralization (stratified tremolite nephrite). The origin and mineralization of stratified tremolite nephrite remain poorly constrained. To address this shortcoming, the mineralogy, geochemistry and Sr isotopic of host rock, altered marble, stratified tremolite nephrite and intrusive rock in the Dahua stratified tremolite nephrite deposit were studied. The results show: stratified tremolite nephrite mainly consists of aggregates of microcrystalline-cryptocrystalline tremolites with content exceeding 95%. The in situ rare earth elements (REEs) distribution pattern of hydrothermal calcite in the contact position between stratified tremolite nephrite and marble is similar to that of marine carbonate rock, showing obvious enrichment of HREE, which is different from calcite in limestone and marble. 87Sr/86Sr of stratified tremolite nephrite is relatively uniform, with an average value of 0.7070, within the range of Permian seawater. The mean value of Y/Ho in the hydrothermal calcite is 51.24, indicating that the marine fluid has not been impregnated by terrigenous materials. In summary, the hydrothermal fluid rich in Ca and Si is formed after marine carbonate rocks are altered by marine fluids. Hydrothermal fluids alter diabase rocks formed by altered minerals like titanite, chamosite, zoisite, etc. This process leads to the formation of metallogenic hydrothermal fluids abundant in Si, Ca, Fe and Mg. The metallogenic hydrothermal fluids migrate in faults and fractures of marble and crystallize to form tremolite nephrite under suitable ore-forming conditions.
