occurrence of manganotantalite and associated minarals
Microlitemanganotantalite exsolution lamellae:
We have analysed a rare occurrence of orangebrown manganotantalite lamellae (visible in hand specimen), intergrown with microlite [(Ca,Na) 2 (Ta,Nb) 2 (O,OH,F) 7], aggregates of ferrotapiolite, bismuth minerals and apatite to understand more about the mechanisms of crystal growth and secondary modification in Tarich minerals The intergrowth Manganotantalite is usually found in the quartz core or in later replacement units consisting of albite (cleavelandite), muscovite or lithian micas and is frequently associated with microlite An exceptionally rich manganotantalite occurrence was observed in a pegmatite from On the mineralogy and geochemistry of niobium and Limica within one of the beryl pegmatites, extreme Mnenrichment has produced nearendmember manganotantalite and Wbearing wodginite Microlite is an important late phase, which is either OXIDE MINERALS OF THE SEPARATION RAPIDS RARE
Cesstibtantite – Occurrence, Properties, and Distribution
Occurrence of Cesstibtantite and Useful Mineral Association Cesstibtantite occurs as a rare accessory in some highly fractionated granite pegmatites It is often associated with minerals such as simpsonite, stibiotantalite, microlite, wodginite, tantalite, pollucite, sosedkoite, antimonian microlite, kimrobinsonite, and manganotantaliteostigov journal article: occurrence of radioactive minerals in the pegmatites of the okutango district, kyoto prefectureOCCURRENCE OF RADIOACTIVE MINERALS IN THE closely associated in nature and are the two most characteristic raremetal accessories in granite pegmatites, forming a large number of exotic minerals As major constituents in the mineral columbitetantalite, these elements were also discovered in that mineral, although for a long time there was uncertainty reNIOBIUM AND TANTALUM MINERALS Gov
Influence of fluorine on the solubility of
Linnen (1998) investigated the effect of lithium on tantalite(Mn) solubility and determined that there is a weak increase of tantalite(Mn) solubility with increasing Li for melts with ASI Li ¼ 10 The newly discovered Separation s pegmatite group, situated in mafic metavolcanic hostrocks that represent the eastern extremity of the Bird River metavolcanicmetasedimentary belt, contains Ontario's first occurrences of wodginitegroup minerals (mainly wodginite and ferrowodginite), the pyrochloregroup minerals stibiomicrolite, stibiobetafite and yttropyrochlore, ferrotapiolite, and Oxide minerals of the separation rapids rareelement literature To date this is the first occurrence of wodginite in the US, along with wodginite from the Peerless pegmatite at Keystone, South Dakota (Cernf et al, in review) This paper describes the occurrence, chemistry and properties of the Virginian wodginite and associated First US occurrence of wodginite from Powhatan County
