The chromian marbles of Kittilä, Finnish Lapland
The volcano-sedimentary rock association at Kittilä is characterized in many places by the presence of green-colored fuchsite-bearing ferroan dolomite-quartz rocks, locally called chromian marbles. The rock is cut by coarse-grained quartz-breunnerite veins. The surrounding country rock is a carbonat...

The rock is cut by coarse-grained quartz-breunnerite veins. The surrounding country rock is a carbonate rock in which fuchsite has been replaced by chlorite or sericite. As the amount of the carbonates decreases, the rock grades into a quartz-sericite rock and eventually into a chlorite schist. These carbonate rocks have originated as chert-carbonate sediments. http://www.geologinenseura.fi/bulletin/Volume50/sgs_bt_050_pages_015_029.pdf |
