🧪 Study Shows Gold Can Form Even in Ultra-Dilute Water Conditions

New research from China has directly observed gold forming and concentrating from extremely dilute solutions — as low as 10 parts per billion in water — thanks to a dense liquid layer that forms on pyrite surfaces, challenging traditional theories on how gold deposits form.

Key Facts:

• Scientists watched gold precipitate on pyrite crystals within minutes during experiments with water containing very tiny amounts of dissolved gold.

• The study reveals a microscopic process where pyrite attracts and concentrates gold over time, even under common environmental conditions.

• This reshapes understanding of gold deposit formation, showing deposits can accumulate gradually from sparse sources over geological time.

Expert Insight:
Researchers say the discovery broadens how geologists think about ore genesis — gold doesn’t always need extreme heat or deep fluid systems to concentrate; microscopic surface chemistry can drive accumulation too.

The Mystery of Dolomitization: What Makes Dolomite Rock Unique?

Dolomite is a naturally occurring mineral and sedimentary rock (dolostone) primarily composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (CaMg(CO
Unlike limestone (which is purely calcium carbonate), Dolomite contains a near-perfect 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of magnesium to calcium, with these ions arranged in ordered layers.

Formation: Most geologists believe Dolomite forms through dolomitization, a secondary process where magnesium-rich fluids (like brines or seawater) alter existing limestone or lime mud. The exact process remains an active area of research, as naturally forming dolomite is rare in modern environments, leading to the "Dolomite Problem" in geology.so same have to go therough many process of dyor and knowledge for that
