Application of structural geology in the exploration for residual gem deposits of Sri Lanka
Geological investigations of some major gem-bearing areas of Sri Lanka have shown that the gem deposits are controlled by the geological structure. Corundum deposits are generally associated with axial plane areas of tight, doubly plunging synclinoria and anticlinoria where occurrences of crystallin...
