Quartz
Dimensions: 6.5 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm. Single crystal of transparent quartz with a very large S-face (2111). The S-face is not common - this one has unusual growth patterns on the surface. Minor chips on the termination. Ex. Robert C. Linck (1905-1970). Overall size of mineral specimen: 6.5x3x2 cm. Size of individual crystals: 6.5 cm.

In zones V and VI, the primary minerals record intense interaction with hydrothermal fluids, which caused the alteration of spodumene and mica, the development of Cs- or Na-enriched veinlets in beryl, and the formation of Mn- and Ta-enriched veinlets coupled with micropores within columbite-group minerals. The hydrothermal fluids were …

Geochemistry and formation conditions of rare-metal …
A comparative geochemical study of rare-metal granitoids with various fluorine-bearing minerals (fluorite, topaz, and cryolite) was carried out. It was shown that these rocks correspond to both plumasitic and agpaitic geochemical types. The fluorite-, topaz-, and cryolite-bearing granites of these geochemical types are distinctly different in …

Columbite of the alkali granite is of FeNb 2 O 6 composition and associated with annite. The low F and Li contents of the associated mica precludes the important role of these volatile elements during the late stage of evolution of the alkali granites, thus delaying fractionation of Mn over Fe and Ta over Nb.
