Comments on the commodity information

  • LOS CUERPOS PEGMATITICOS ESTAN CONSTITUIDOS POR: FELDESPATO ROSADO (MICROCLINO EN PARTE ALTRADO), MUSCOVITA EN PEQUENOS "BOLSILLOS" DE HOJAS CHICAS Y MEDIANAS, Y CUARZO EN MASAS Y GUIAS Y TAMBIEN EN CRISTALES CHICOS. LOS MINERALES ACCESORIOS SON: GRANATE (ABUNDANTE), BERILO EN INDIVIDUOS PEQUENOS, ESCASA APATITA, CASITERITA Y NIOBITA. EN ALGUNA DE ESTAS PEGMATITAS LA CASITERITA SE ENCUENTRA FORMANDO CONCENTRACIONES DE REDUCIDA MAGNITUD, DE COLOR OSCURO Y DE GRANO MEDIANO, ENVUELTAS POR FELDESPATO Y MICA, EN CIERTAS OCASIONES ESAS CONCENTRACIONES SE LOCALIZAN A LO LARGO DEL CONTACTO DE LOS FILONES PEGMATITICOS CON LA ROCA DE CAJA.
