Stockwork
Sample of gold ore from the Red Lake Mine consisting of a stockwork of gold filled veinlets (sample width: 6.6 cm)
In geology, a stockwork is a complex system of structurally controlled or randomly oriented veins.[1] Stockworks are common in many ore deposit types and in greisens.[2] They are also referred to as stringer zones.
