Abstract Cameron et al.(1949) devised the nomenclature and delineated the patterns of
internal zonation within granitic pegmatites that are in use today. Zonation in pegmatites is …

Beryllium is one of the most widespread rare elements in granitic pegmatites. These rocks
have been historically the sole industrial source of this metal (eg, Norton et al. 1958), and …

The Himalayan leucogranite belt is evaluated as a prospect for rare-metal mineralization.
The Pusila pluton is located 44 km northwest of Mount Everest, and consists of two-mica …

Lithium-rich, rare-element pegmatites are characterized by high concentrations of B, P, and
F. The interactions of these components with H 2 O and rare alkalis lower liquidas and …

A review of the petrologic literature (eg Watanabe, 1975; Seyfried et al., 1984; Leeman et al.,
1994; see also Leeman and Sisson, this volume) shows that subductionrelated intermediate …

Phase relations for the bulk composition LiAlSi5O12 (system LiAlSiO4–SiO2–H2O) have
been investigated experimentally over the range 340–950° C and 0.5–6.0 kbar P (H2O) …

Abstract The Songpan-Ganze orogenic belt on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan
Plateau extends westward from the Songpan-Ganze terrain in western Sichuan to the …

Experimental results presented here establish the P2O5 content of peraluminous silicic melt
for three potential buffering reactions at 200 MPa H2O and T from 525 to 850° C:(1) biotite …

Experiments with tourmaline-group minerals began with synthesis, and later, synthesis with
the aim of defining pressure–temperature limits on the stability fields of end-member …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) offers an efficient method for qualitative and
semiquantitative analysis of light elements (Z< 10), including lithium. This relatively …
