Fahlband

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fahlband (from the German fahl for "faded" + band,[1] German pronunciation: [ˈfaːlbant]) is a stratum in crystalline rock, containing metallic minerals.[2][3]

mineralized portions of shear zones that are formed as a result of cavity filling or metasomatic replacement are described as fahlbands.
