A Sr isotopic study combined with stable isotope determinations ( 18 O and 13 C ), petrographic observations and speciation calculations suggests that the Stripa granite (Sweden) contains at least three different types of calcite veins. One type with 18 O = -18 to -24%. (PDB) and 87 Sr / 86 Sr = 0.7814 to 1.0696 probably formed at temperatures above 200°C, together with chlorite and epidote, during one or two metamorphic events which are recorded in the Rb-Sr systematics of some minerals of the granite at 1.4 and 0.8 Ga. Another type with 18 O = -12 to -18%. (PDB) and 87 Sr / 86 Sr = 0.7406 to 0.7536 and mainly associated with chlorite, is most likely in equilibrium with the presentday groundwaters, which probably have reacted with the fracture minerals of the granitic body for a long time without any supply of external fluids. The third type of calcite with 18 O = -12 to -18%. (PDB), 13 C = -5 to -45%. (PDB) and 87 Sr / 86 Sr = 0.7266 to 0.7406, could have formed from reactions involving methane oxidation or sulphate reduction in the presence of bacteria.
