| Description | This article is based on a study of genetically different samples. These were deliberately selected so that they either confirmed or disproved the potential of the methods, as well as combinations of them, for defining the genesis of a sample. In terms of origination, the samples were hydrothermal quartzes, Alpine paragenesis quartzes and pegmatoid quartzes. These were studied in terms of fluid inclusions and analysis of the isotopic composition of oxygen. Although laser ablation was considered, it was ruled out in the light of the characteristics of certain elements intrinsic to the structure of the mineral. It is known that investigation combining oxygen isotope 16O/18O studies with fluid inclusions can distinguish genetically different samples even when the site of origin is not known. Likewise, it is probably possible to distinguish locations with identical genetic types of fluids, as illustrated by the samples from Žulová and Jeglowa analysed in this contribution. |
