Petrographic analysis reveals diverse mineral composition in lepidolite-pegmatites, suggesting economic potential for lithium mineralisation.
Key Points
Lepidolite-pegmatite samples showed that muscovite is the predominant mineral, comprising up to 55%.
Quartz also presents significantly, contributing 20% to 25% across various samples, indicating overall mineral diversity.
Petrographic analysis under polarized light helped characterize the mineral assemblage, revealing implications for lithium content and economic potential.
Further exploration is necessary to fully understand the lithium-bearing capabilities of these pegmatites amid increasing global demand.
