Springs discharging from the artesian aquifer are commonly supersaturated with minerals. In this photo at Iron Spring a small mound of iron hydroxides is forming below where the spring outflows to Fountain Creek.

Interactions between water and minerals in the subsurface (including efflorescent sulfate salts and calcite such as this sample from the Big Five adit) are a primary control on water quality in mining environments. Research is evaluating the importance of these minerals in generating acid mine drainage.
