Project objectives are to develop a modern probabilistic quantitative mineral resource assessment of Puerto Rico, U.S. Islands and adjacent geologically similar areas that examines the potential for minerals-based economic development and trade within the region.
Corestones of quartz diorite bedrock in the Rio Icacos watershed in Puerto Rico weather spheroidally to form concentric sets of partially weathered rock layers (referred to here as rindlets) that slowly transform to saprolite. The rindlet zone (0.2-2 m thick) is overlain by saprolite (2-8 m) topped by soil (0.5-1 m).
Quartz: The Most Abundant Mineral. Quartz is the most abundant mineral on Earth and can be found in many different forms, including clear, smoky, and rose quartz. In Puerto Rico, quartz can be found in the form of rock crystal, which is often used in jewelry and decorative objects.
support of a mineral resource assessment of Puerto Rico. The data were compiled by the staff of the Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI) in the Fall, 1991. CIMRI is a group within the USGS that specializes in the geology and mineral resources of the Americas. The Puerto Rico industrial mineral records were
A US Geological Survey (USGS) has reported substantial gold deposits in Puerto Rico. They are concentrated in two municipalities, ten rivers, and the Sierra Luquillo sector. The Sierra Luquillo deposits cover a staggering area. Acording to the USGS report, they extend for ten kilometers, and run all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The…
In the Rio Icacos watershed of Puerto Rico, intense weathering of a quartz diorite results in the near complete weathering of plagioclase, K-feldspar and hornblende at the bedrock-regolith ...

We measured mineral-specific chemical weathering rates in two small tributary catchments of Rio Icacos in Puerto Rico's Luquillo Mountains (Fig. 2), in a densely vegetated tropical rainforest where the climate is hot (mean annual temperature = 22 °C; White et al., 1998) and humid (mean annual precipitation = 4200 mm yr − 1; McDowell …

It is remarkable that quartz-arenitic sands occur on Puerto Rico, sourced from a provenance area containing extremely limited quantities of modal quartz (estimated at less than 5%) in an oceanic ...
The highest gold and silver values were found in samples with visible chalcopyrite and sphalerite (Bergey, 1960). Chip samples of quartz veins with abundant sulfides yielded …
Rio Grande de Arecibo: Mattson (1968) described pyrite-quartz veins adjacent to Highway 10 along the Rio Grande de Arecibo. The mineralization occurs in Tertiary quartz monzonite and quartz diorite and granodiorite. Assays from the Puerto Rico Bureau of Mines (1941) indicated values up to 0.5 oz. of Au/ton.

The present study quantifies natural rates of quartz weathering based on pore water chemistry, mineral surface areas, and fluid infiltration rates in a tropical saprolite within the Rio Icacos watershed in the Luquillo Mountains of Puerto Rico.
Technistone® high quality quartz surfaces combine natural raw materials (eg. quartz) with the most recent technologies of mixing and pressing.
The paucity of weathering rates for quartz in the natural environment stems both from the slow rate at which quartz dissolves and the difficulty in differentiating solute Si contributed by quartz from that derived from other silicate minerals. This study, a first effort in quantifying natural rates of quartz dissolution, takes advantage of extremely rapid …
