Carbonatite-related albitite

A rock classification type
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
An albitite related to 'linear' carbonatite bodies in shear zones forming rims around carbonatite lenses and veins and separate veins in the upper part of the alkaline-carbonatite rock bodies. Albitites of this type may form by the action of aqueous-CO2 fluids replacing previously fenitized host rocks (gneisses or amphibolites.) They are commonly associated with gold mineralization.
