Skarn Alteration

Skarn Alteration is a geological alteration process characterized by the metasomatic replacement of carbonate or silicate rocks through high-temperature fluid-rock interaction, typically associated with intrusive igneous activity, leading to the formation of calcium- or magnesium-rich silicate minerals distinct from other hydrothermal alteration types.
