Beryl-rich granite and muscovite-albite pegmatites within a Palaeozoic igneous complex.
The dominant Be-bearing phase in the Arskartor Be-Nb-Mo deposit is beryl. Besides Be, associated Nb-Mo mineralization, and gemstones including chrysoberyl and aquamarine, are also developed in the deposit. The intimately coexisted muscovite-albite granite and rare-metal pegmatite in the Arskartor deposit intruded a Paleozoic biotite granitic batholith. The muscovite-albite granite can be divided into a barren zone and a Be-mineralized zone. With a length of 265 m, a width between 10 and 55 m, and dipping angles of 30β60Β°, the rare-metal pegmatite dike shows an acrescent-shaped occurrence and in direct contact with the Be-mineralized muscovite-albite granite and biotite granitic batholith.
