Sedimentary deposits of sand, silt and clay often contain a small percentage of heavy mineral grains that have a higher specific gravity (greater than 2.9) than the more common quartz sand grains (about 2.65). Some are easily visible as dark …

The source materials of heavy mineral sand are metamorphic and igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks give rise to sand containing kyanite and garnet, for example, although the latter may crystallise from magma as well. Magnetite is mostly of igneous origin. Heavy mineral sand is a natural mineral concentrate which is often mined commercially.

The mineral sand deposits fall into three main deposit styles, palaeo-marine placers, aeolian (dunal) sands and alluvial deposits. Analogues from present day geomorphological processes are used to understand the processes and depositional environments for the concentration of heavy minerals and deposit formation.

The use of terms associated with formation temperature of ore deposits is common. Examples are epithermal (formed at less than 1500 m and temperatures between 50 and 200 °C), mesothermal (originated at intermediate depths, 1500–4500 m, and temperatures between 200 and 400 °C), and hypothermal (formed at greater than 4500 m and temperatures …
