Mineral sands are emerging as a major mineral resource for Victoria. Mineral sands are ancient beach sands that contain concentrations of. minerals including rutile, ilmenite, zircon and monazite as well as other rare earth elements. Geology. Rutile, ilmenite and zircon originally grew as crystals in. igneous rocks such as granite, pegmatite and basalt and. some metamorphic rocks.
Grain size and accessory mineral composition. Silica sands are finer, have a consistent grain size and generally composed of singular crystal elements of pure silicon dioxide. Quartz sands while also being composed of nearly pure silicon dioxide are generally coarser, do not have the same isotropy in grain size, are formed of compound crystal elements and still contain some mineral impurities.
