The potential of lithium in alkali feldspars, quartz, and muscovite as a geochemical indicator in the exploration for lithium-rich granitic pegmatites: A case study from the spodumene-rich Moblan pegmatite, Quebec, Canada

Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 2019
Abstract The Li concentration of alkali feldspars, quartz, and muscovite from the spodumene-rich Main Sill of the Moblan pegmatite in Quebec, Canada, was used to evaluate the potential of the most common minerals in granitic pegmatites as indicators for the presence of Li-aluminosilicate mineralization. In Moblan, alkali feldspar crystals incorporate

Alkali metal and rare earth element evolution of rock-forming minerals from the Gatumba area pegmatites (Rwanda): Quantitative assessment of crystal-melt fractionation in the regional zonation of pegmatite groups

Geochimica Et Cosmochimica Acta, 2014
Abstract This study presents a general model for the evaluation of Rayleigh fractional crystallisation as the principal differentiation mechanism in the formation of regionally zoned common and rare-element pegmatites. The magmatic evolution of these systems from a granitic source is reconstructed by means of alkali element and rare earth element ...

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Alkali Beryl from the Rare Metal Bearing Pegmatites of Marlagalla-Allapatna, Mandya District, Karnataka

Journal of the Geological Society of India, 1999
Abstract White coloured alkali beryl from the pegmatites of Mariagalla-Allapatna in Mandya district, Karnataka contains distinctly higher alkali elements (Na, Li, Rb, Ca) and relatively low beryllium oxide (c. 11 % BeO) compared to normal beryl. Beryl occurs mostly between graphic intermediate zone and quartz core in the complexly zoned,

Distribution of rare alkali metals in chamber pegmatites as criterion in prospecting for optical fluorite and piezoquartz

International Geology Review, 1965
The distribution of rubidium and cesium in microcline-perthite was studied in five topaz- and fluorite-bearing zoned pegmatites. Determinations of mineral paragenesis aided in the interpretation of the results of the rare alkali metal determinations. The study lead to the following conclusions: 1) The Rb content in zoned fluorite and topaz pegmatites ...

Theoretical studies of the alteration of spodumene, petalite, eucryptite and pollucite in granitic pegmatites: exchange reactions with alkali feldspars

Contributions To Mineralogy and Petrology, 1993
The ratios Na/Li, K/Li, Na/Cs and K/Cs have been calculated for exchange equilibria among the Li and Cs silicates spodumene, petalite, eucryptite, and pollucite, and the alkali feldspars albite and K-feldspar plus quartz, in pure water and in chloride solutions at temperatures from 100° to 700°C and pressures from 0.5 to 4 kbar, using available ...
