Within the granite system, we will examine the distribution of Be between anatectic melts and residual crystals, and we will track the accumulation of Be in melt via crystal fractionation, culminating in the saturation of pegmatite-forming melts in the mineral beryl. Beryl is unquestionably the most common manifestation of... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
