July 28, 2012
Tuff,
is the rock name and part of volcanic rocks type, which produce by volcanic process and as of dominate agregate of feldspar and silica minerals.
It can be sparate in 3 name again the texture : a smooth tuff called ASH TUFF , a crystall called CRYSTALL TUFF and fragmented called LITHIC TUFF.

All the rocks above were the product of volcanic and can be a related to minerals deposited , offcourse with others parameter.
The parameter as porosity, fracture, intercept of fluid who is carry a minerals and don't forget a decomposition of host minerals.
Feldspars can be decomposite becaused of alteration. It mineralas can be come a type of clay : alunite ,dickite, illite-smectite, kaolinite or just chlorite while altered.

The clay decomposited can be an indicator of the last processed sufered on those host rock and will be as the path finders of economic minerals like gold, silver, copper, or just a base metal.
