Under den lite folierte, grovkornige granittlinsa i liggen av den mineraliserte gneisen (NO0746 Bordvedåga) er det flere utholdende flusspat- og karbonatrike gneislag, stedvis massiv flusspat, som strekker seg fra Sørfjellet i SØ til Trolldalsaksla i NV. På Trolldalsaksla er det lokal anrikning av Be-mineralene danalitt, helvin, høgtuvaitt og gadolinitt i en flusspat- og karbonatrik horisont. Mineraliseringen (0.5m bred og noen meter lang) karakteriseres ved skarnmineralogi (granat, diopsid, magnetitt) og høye konsentrasjoner av en rekke sporelementer. Tilknytningen til skarndannelse er usikker. Det er ellers i området ikke kjent lignende skarnifisering, hvilket ville være ventet med de uttallige karbonathorisontene. Mineraliseringen på Trolldalsaksla har en viss likhet med radioaktive, mørke zirkon-biotitt-segregasjoner som opptrer i og i nærheten av den mineraliserte gneisen. Enkelte av disse er også anriket på Be. På Sørfjellet (UTM 450050 7364500) opptrer beryll i flere tynne konkordante lag med flusspatrik gneis. Også en diskordant flusspat-beryll-anrikning i gneisen finnes i området. Analyse gir 0.36% Be. Området med de mineraliserte lagene er på minst 50m x 50m.

Granitophile elements in granitoid rocks in Precambrian basement windows in Nordland, Northern Norway, with special reference to the rare-element enriched gneiss at Bordvedåga, Høgtuva window

;Norges geologiske undersøkelse;FAGRAPPORT;NGU-rapport; No.87.043

Abstract:

This report gives the results of field work done in the Precambrian Høgtuva window, with minor comments on the other similar windows in Nordland. The aim for this work was to attain a better understanding of the genesis of the rare-element mineralization at Bordvedåga, and thereby provide guidelines for further prospecting for granitophile element deposits.
