Hydrothermally altered REE miarolitic Pegmatite

Hydrothermal (Au-Te-Bi) + Pegmatite (Miarolitic, REE)

Required Geological Setting

Plutonic rocks

Occurrence

The REE mmiarolitic pegmatites subjected to very low temperature hydrothermal alteration. Pegmatites were altered by 50 - 100 degree hydrothermal fluid at deep circumstances. Together with same minerals as the Au-Bi-Te hydrothermal deposit by low temperature hydrothermal fluids, milarite and stokesite were formed by decomposition of beryl and cassiterite, respectively.
