GUID (UUID V4):

The Paraguay Belt, the westernmost part of the Tocantins Province, is almost entirely composed of metasedimentary rocks, except for the Nova Xavantina region, where metavolcanic rocks occur. It has been divided into three zones: Inner (southeast/east/south, dominated by glacio-lacustrine siliciclastic rocks), Outer (north/northweast, mixed siliciclastic and carbonate rocks), and Foreland covers (northwest, dominant carbonate rocks). The Paraguay Belt is mostly NE–SW-oriented, aligned with the Transbrasiliano Lineament, a transcontinental thousand-kilometer-long transcurrent shear feature that marks the Brasiliano Orogeny at the end of the Neoproterozoic.
The gold deposits and occurrences of the Paraguay Belt Gold Province are found in the northern part of the Inner Zone, in Mato Grosso state. This is the largest exposed area of the belt, with its southern counterpart covered mainly by Phanerozoic covers. The gold mineralizations are hosted by fine-grained meta-sedimentary rocks of Neoproterozoic age, the Cuiabá Group, and lithotypes of the Nova Xavantina Metavolcano–Sedimentary Complex.

ⓘ Quartz var. Citrine

Formula: SiO₂

Locality: Anahi Mine, Puerto Suárez Municipality, Germán Busch Province, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Description: The "citrine" colored portions of ametrine are colored by inclusions of iron oxides/hydroxides, hence it is different from other natural citrine. Some authors would not call it citrine in the strict sense. However, it is correct to say that the mine produces citrine, as this is the name of the gem material "citrine".
