Yes, mineral veins are often formed when minerals from a solution deposit within fractures or faults in rocks. This usually occurs when mineral-rich fluids flow through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust and deposit minerals as the fluids cool and/or react with surrounding rock. Over time, this process can lead to the formation of mineral veins.
