I'm really convinced South America has the disposition of,
Reef Copper.
All along it's coastal shore ( western ) is riddled with copper
deposits. All deposits are about the same distance inland.
Lower regions may have indifferent copper, but the northern
region has lots of, malachite.
What's the malachite formula ?
Malachite is the another copper carbonate hydroxide mineral with chemical formula [Cu2CO3(OH)2] There it is, carbonate.
Where would the caebonate come from ?
Coal ore body displacing it's carbon in water, reefs absorbing it
and converting the reef copper to, malachite.
Test your skills....
What type of minerals are seen in this, specimen ?
If you guessed carbonate iton and copper,
you guessed right.
Now, let's look at a global map where significant
copper deposits are located.
See anything remarkable ?
Yes, all near
coastal or former
flood regions,
which point to, reef ( genesis formations.
.
As one can see, there's significant evidence that supports
reef copper, deposits.
My other hunch is, much of the magnesium, silver,
maganese, and silica, and silica sands are still evident
with in, Colombias copper specimens - some converted
to carbonate, while some sila sands converted to silicic acid
in which is processed by organisms on the reef, to weld,
or rebuild the minerals into, secondary, mineralized rock.
Silica quartz
Silica sands
Silicic acid ( solubilized silica )
Digestion of organisms
Reweld / new rock formations
