Abstract:

In Tørdal granite pegmatite veins cut through a volcano-sedimentary sequence which overlies an older, gneissic basement and younger granite from which they originate. Positive co-variations of scandium, lithium, beryllium and tin, which were documented through a recent prospecting program for tin, indicate a possible enrichment of scandium and tin during the passage of pegmatitic material through the volcanic sedimentary sequence. A description is given of scandium-rich ixiolite, (Ta,Nb,Sc,Sn,Fe,Mn,Ti)2O4 in association with pyrochlore, (Ca,Sc,Y,Sn,U)2(Ta,Nb,Ti)2O6(O,OH,F) and bazzite, Be3Sc2Si6O18 from a cleavelandite-amazonite pegmatite occurring as a part of a larger network of granitic pegmatite veins. Alteration from ixiolite to pyrochlore appears as a late magmatic-hydrothermal event.
