Abstract

A new type of carbonate vein onyx is identified. The onyx composition is calcite. Banding is preconditioned by alternation of the zones of light calcite, and calcite rich in ferruginized argillisite. Three types of vein bodies are composed of poorly dislocated, brecciated and concretion onyx. The latter type is presented by easily dissected concretions (5-12 cm). Calcite crystal fragments (1-3 cm) overgrown by concentric-zonal ferruginized much argillisite-altered calcite onyx looking like “rounded pebble” (2-4 cm) from outside, overgrown in its turn by concentrically banded large radial-columnar calcite crystals form the concretions. Concretions are interesting in terms of collection material
