Short summary
This study examines solid nano-inclusions in magnetite from the La Víbora magnesian skarn, Spain, revealing insights into mineral formation. We found two types of inclusions: representing fossilized skarn reactions and precipitated from supersaturated fluids. Nano-inclusions provide valuable clues about the Fe mineralization event, highlighting the significance of nano-inclusions in understanding geological processes and resource exploration.
