Characteristics of fluid inclusion within quartz, barite and sphalerite in the Laurani deposit. (a) Melt inclusions in the stage II quartz eye (sample ZK4r52); (b) Daughter mineral-bearing inclusion in the stage II quartz eye (sample ZK4r1); (c) Liquid-rich aqueous inclusion in the stage II quartz eye (sample ZK4r1); (d,e) Liquid-rich aqueous inclusion in the stage III sphalerite (sample ZK2c2); (f) CO2-bearing three-phase inclusion in the stage III sphalerite (sample ZK2c2); (gi) Pure liquid aqueous, vapor-rich and liquid-rich aqueous inclusion in the stage II barite vein (sample ZK4r60 and LET15); (j) Vapor-rich aqueous inclusion in the stage II quartz vein (sample LET11); (k) Daughter mineral-bearing inclusion in the stage II quartz vein (sample PD6r2); (l) CO2-bearing three-phase inclusion in the stage I ore-barren quartz (sample LET16); (m,n) Vapor-rich, liquid-rich, and daughter mineral-bearing inclusions in the same viewshed in the stage I ore-barren quartz (sample LET16) and of the stage II quartz eyes (sample ZK4r1). All images are observed in plane polarized light. G-glass, V-vapor, L-liquid, S-solid.
