I'm now working on a project in which I must visualize a porphyry Cu veinlet relationships, I have a variety of cores from various deeps of an ore deposit, each core illustrates the mineralization in a specific deep, I have also the cores's coordinates.if there is any useful way for vain classification, I will accept warmly.
I eagerly look forward to hear from you through this post,

Do you want to vizualize some properties of veins on geological section or to carry out geological (genetic) classification of vein? If first, then which properties of vein network are important for you (e.g. anisotropy, compactness, prevailing thickness of veins or other geometrical characteristics of the network)?
Since the original rocks are probably very altered, I would try to identify the alteration minerals and compare the results with porphyry copper models from other known deposits
Thin sections and X-polarized microscopy analysis of the contact between those veinlets for each specific depth could provide further information about the alteration mineral indentification!
