This alteration is characterized by a mineralization development starting with the formation of chlorite I + sericite I, continuing through sericite II and quartz II, and culminating in the intensive formation of chlorite II. The hydrothermal solutions of the most strongly affected rock are completely chloritized. Some alteration minerals show signs of repeated hydrothermal redistribution, which, together with the formation of younger alteration minerals – epidote II, zeolites, carbonates, testify to a younger hydrothermal mineralization activity, by which strongly propylitic altered rocks were again affected.
