What does skarnification means?
Skarnification refers to the geological process whereby an existing rock, commonly rich in calcium minerals such as calcite and dolomite, is replaced by calcium-bearing silicate minerals (such as varieties of garnet, pyroxene and epidote) to form a 'skarn'. This process usually occurs due to the infiltration of magmatic or hydrothermal fluids into the existing rock through faults and fractures, and may be associated with the formation of significant economic metal concentrations as oxide or sulfide minerals.
