Geologic
description:
The body has a probable metasomatic origin
(episyenite); for other authors it's a syenite.
It outcrops into Los Nogales granitic plutonium.
Neither quartz nor mica were observed on its surface;
iron was (ilmenite-magnetite).
Because of its K2O and Na2O content, it could be
considered a mixed feldspar. |
