Hole effect model, usually means your deposit has alternating high and low grade zones. Sorry I'm not familiar with the geology of this deposit but examples of this could be pods of high grade spaced apart from each other with waste or low grade halos between them. If only the high grade zones are

Rajive I haven't read the other responses yet, so this may be redundant. Two possibilities: (1) anisotropy: if this is shallow marine data there should be a difference between longshore drift and off-shore deepening of sea-bed. You have an omni-directional semi-variogram. It is possible that the

Dear Rajive:   I cannot conclude with only 328 pairs that the feature is "wavy" because I do not know how those pairs are distributed for each point in the variogram.  Try different lag spacings, or create an "equal-n" lag variogram where each lag has the same number of pairs.  If that shows th
