Heavy mineral sands are a class of ore deposit which is an important source of zirconium, titanium, thorium, tungsten, rare-earth elements, the industrial minerals diamond, sapphire, garnet, and occasionally precious metals or gemstones. Heavy mineral sands are placer deposits formed most usually in beach environments by concentration due to the specific gravity of the mineral grains. It is equally likely that some concentrations of heavy minerals (aside from the usual gold placers) exist within streambeds, but most are of a low grade and are relatively small.

  • Zware mineralen zijn mineralen met een metaalachtig uiterlijk. Zware metalen met hun verbindingen (voornamelijk de sulfiden, maar ook verbindingen met arseen, antimoon, seleen, telluur en bismut) worden tot deze groep gerekend. Ze hebben een dichtheid die groter is dan 2,9 g/cm³. (nl)
  • Schwermineral ist ein Begriff aus der Mineralogie und Petrographie, der im weitesten Sinne alle Minerale umfasst, die eine höhere Dichte als 2,9 g/cm³ besitzen. Im engeren Sinn ist der Begriff auf solche Minerale beschränkt, die als detritische Körner mit zumeist sehr geringem Mengenanteil in klastischen Sedimenten und Sedimentgesteinen vorliegen. In diesem Sinne haben sie, angereichert in Seifen-Lagerstätten, als Erzminerale eine rohstoffgeologische Bedeutung. Wissenschaftlich von Belang ist die sogenannte Schwermineral-Analyse, die bei der Rekonstruktion einstiger Liefergebiete (Provenienzanalyse) angewendet wird. (de)
