Albitites
of
East Azov area were observed in the career Dmytrivka (Fig. 1) and gully
Tunikova. According to some petrographic and geochemical data, we have
reason to believe these albitites the products of final stages
fenitization.
First of all, it must consider
these albitites for potential ore. Characteristical accessory mineral
in albitites orf Dmytrivka is zircon in high quantities (Fig. 2), often
pyrochlore i
bastnesite sometimes
brytolite, these minerals determine the increase in the values
of
Ce, Zr, Nb. In some area are rich occurs in molybdenum mineralization [1].
As a secondary mineral in albitites was identified perrotite [2] and
minerals astrophillite-kupletskite group, which contain as isomorphic
impurities in high concentration of Zr Nb. [3] Elevated levels of ZrO2
(0,5%) are in aegirine. In addition, in some amphiboles Dmytrivka was an
increase in zirconium content (0.12-0.5% ZrO2). Also we can marks that
in the same sample during the description of thin sections were observed
in significant amounts, and self-zirconium mineral – zircon.
Albitites of gully Tunikova
characterized by a high content of Zr and Nb and geochemically similar
to albitites Dmytrivka. Although they are not marked minerals
astrophillite-kupletskite group. Consequently, albitites Dmytrivka
career and gullyTunikova. may have the practical interest

To
characterize
and compare the major
components in fenites,
country rocks and albitites
Dmytrivka career (because
albitites of Dmytrivka have a
much greater spread
than albitites gully
Tunikova) provides the
following diagram (Fig
3). With decreasing
silica content significantly
increase of sodium and
calcium in albitites
comparison with the granites and
apogranitoid fenites
Dmytrivka career. Also in
albitites number of
aluminum slightly increases.
This indicates carry-over
silica, due to
which the percentage
number of sodium
and aluminum in the rock
increases.
