Summary
This data release provides geochemical results of in situ electron probe microanalyses of hydrothermal muscovite associated with gold-bearing quartz veins from the Klamath Mountains, California. Samples were collected from eight different mines in the summer of 2013 and electron probe microanalyses were carried out May 27, 2014 and November 12, 2019.

Samples were analyzed to determine similarities and differences in the chemistry of hydrothermal muscovite from the different mines. Additionally, these samples contain sufficient potassium for Ar-Ar geochronology, and results were published by Morgan (2020).
