Djibouti

Djibouti is a country in the Horn of Africa, located at the southern entrance to the Red Sea where the Gulf of Aden meets the Afar region. It occupies a key tectonic position at the junction of Africa and Arabia and forms part of a broader region of active crustal extension.

Geologically, Djibouti lies within the Afar Triangle, a triple-junction region where the African, Arabian, and Somali plates diverge. The country is dominated by Cenozoic volcanic rocks, including extensive basaltic lava flows, volcanic cones, and fissure systems associated with rifting. Active and recent volcanism, faulting, and crustal thinning are characteristic features. Evaporite deposits occur in low-lying basins, notably around Lake Assal, which lies below sea level.

This tectonic and volcanic setting strongly influences mineral occurrence. Djibouti hosts limited metallic mineralisation but is notable for evaporite minerals, particularly halite and gypsum, associated with arid basin environments. Volcanic and geothermal activity has also produced sulfur-bearing deposits and hydrothermal alteration zones in some areas.

ⓘ Anorthite

Formula: Ca(Al₂Si₂O₈)

Localities:

Ardoukôba Volcano, Tadjourah Region, Djibouti
Asal Rift, Tadjourah Region, Djibouti

Habit: The macrocrysts range in size up to 2 cm. Their textures vary from euhedral to subhedral, and other samples show a subhedral to anhedral texture. All the plagioclase minerals crystallized under a condition of equilibrium and show twinning. They exhibit both Carlsbad and polysynthetic twinning in some samples and only polysynthetic twinning in the major samples. There are also some samples that present plagioclases with twinning and without twinning. Zoning is also present in some samples. We observed that all plagioclases have a glomeroporphyritic texture. Some plagioclases have undergone an embayment of microlithic groundmass and, occasionally, plagioclase crystals and olivine microcrysts.[[1]]

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Cenozoic : 25 Ma to 2.3 ± 0.2 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
