This locality is closed to collecting.

Occurrence

Beryl-Columbite subtype rare-element pegmatite

Pegmatite deposit in fine biotite granite, the middle Paleocene (60 Ma) Kabasan Granite. The Kabasan Granite is S-type (Ilmenite-series) and is intruded in the Late Jurassic (150 Ma) Kasama Unit of the accretionary complex, the Yamizo Group. The Kasama Unit corresponds to the Yabuhara Unit of the Tamba-Mino-Ashio accretionary complex. Ages of sedimentary rocks were determined by radiolarians, and granite age by K-Ar radiometric dating.
