Bien des filons et autres masses de quartz, dit souvent quartz stérile («bull quartz»), ne contiennent pas de minéraux de qualité. [...] d'ordinaire, les filons sont constitués de quartz d'un blanc laiteux, bien qu'on en trouve souvent du bleu, du gris (enfumé) et du rose. Le quartz stérile est d'ordinaire vitreux et il peut avoir une teinte bleuâtre; mais ces caractéristiques ne permettent pas toujours de dire qu'il s'agit d'un quartz sans valeur. 2, record 1, French, - quartz%20st%C3%A9rile

Oxide facies ... is the most important facies. It can be divided into the hematite and magnetite subfacies according to which iron oxide is dominant. There is a complete gradation between the two subfacies. ... Oxide facies BIF [banded iron formation] typically averages 30-35% Fe. These rocks are mineable provided they are amenable to beneficiation by magnetic or gravity separation of the iron minerals. 3, record 2, English, - oxide%20facies
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Well segregated oxide facies containing 30% or more iron in discrete grains or grain clusters of hematite, magnetite and goethite uniformly distributed in a cherty or granular quartz matrix are most suitable for ore. Oxide facies are selected that are clearly segregated from silicate, carbonate or sulphide facies and other barren rock... 4, record 2, English, - oxide%20facies
