What is Aqueous alteration in space?
Aqueous alteration in space refers to the process by which minerals in asteroids or rocks are altered by the presence of water. This alteration can change the mineral composition or structure of the rock and lead to the formation of new minerals.

What kind of rock is fuchsite?
Fuchsite is a mineral, not a rock. It is a type of muscovite (mica). It is green because it is chromium-rich. trivalent Cr replaces Al. Fuchsite can form either by hydrothermal alteration or alteration due to reduced conditions in sedimentary rocks.
Is dolostone igneous rock?
