Three types of secondary pretulite (ScPO4) from Dolní Borypegmatites, Czech Republic - evidence for high Sc mobility inhydrothermal environment.
2015
Three types of secondary pretulite (A, B and C) were identified
from pegmatites in Dolni Bory, Czech Republic. All pretulite
types formed by recrystallization of two different Sc-enriched
precursor minerals: Sc,Y,U,P-rich zircon and complex W-Nb-Fe-Sc
oxide. Formation of pretulite took place at approximately 350°C
and 2 kbars. Pretulite A occurs as inclusions together with
prevailing inclusions of xenotime-(Y) in recrystallized zircon.
Pretulite B originated by recrystallization of the W-Nb-Fe-Sc
oxide and its composition spans over almost whole ScPO4-ZrSiO4
solid solution. Pretulite C has been found away from the
precursor minerals in association with pyrophyllite replacing
andalusite. Composition of the fluids, which were poor in
fluorine, allowed selective mobilization of Sc and its
separation from HFSE.
