"The lapis lazuli deposit of southern Baffin Island lies fifteen kilometres north of Lake Harbour, a settlement famous for its Inuit carvers. The "blue rock" has been known by the Inuit for decades but did not appear in any reports until the detailed geological mapping of the area in 1959. It lies within a marble that forms part of a series of highly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. The original sediments, probably deposited in a restricted marine environment, formed an evaporite." [Grice, 1989, page 129]

Mineralization age: Proterozoic : 1782.5 ± 3.7 Ma to ~1510 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
