[3] A drift follows the vein, as distinguished from a crosscut that intersects it, or a level or gallery, which may do either. [4]
Rhodochrosite occurs as a hydrothermal vein mineral along with other manganese minerals in low temperature ore deposits as in the silver mines of Romania where it was first found.

The California Mother Lode was one of the most productive gold-producing districts in ...
Cartoon cross-section showing manto ore deposits (USGS) [1] A polymetallic replacement deposit, also known as carbonate replacement deposit or high-temperature carbonate-hosted Ag-Pb-Zn deposit, [2] is an orebody of metallic minerals formed by the replacement of sedimentary, usually carbonate rock, by metal-bearing solutions in the vicinity of igneous intrusions.
