Pegmatitic ore deposits SpringerLink
Pegmatitic ore deposits. Pegmatites as ore bodies are important sources for a number of metals and industrial raw materials particularly for the ceramic electronic and nuclear power industries. Simple pegmatites dominated by alkali ± plagioclase feldspars quartz ± biotite ± muscovite are exploited for their feldspar and mica content.
