4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I think Wall Rock fits the context better. I found the definition of wall rock - The rock that forms the walls of a vein or lode, which is similar to what Lat Hermit provided. I also found the following at: http://140.128.103.1/web/Content.asp?ID=30421 【中文詞條】圍岩蝕變 【外文詞條】wall rock alteration Thank you all! "
