Metamorphic Rocks and Minerals

Scheelite and epidote are two distinct but geologically significant minerals often found in metamorphic rocks. Scheelite is a primary source of tungsten, prized for its hardness and high melting point, while epidote is known for its pistachio-green color and complex silicate structure. In the Greenhorn Mountains of Kern County, California, these minerals occur together, offering a fascinating glimpse into the region’s dynamic metamorphic history and mineral-rich geological formations.
