What Wikipedia says

Paragenesis, in petrology, is the formation sequence of minerals in an ore deposit. It is used in studies of igneous and metamorphic rock genesis and importantly in studies of the hydrothermal deposition of ore minerals and the rock alteration (vein metasomatism) associated with ore mineral deposits.
