The pegmatite is composed of microcline, plagioclase and quartz with minor amounts of clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, ilmenite and zircon. |
The latter do not include typical pegmatite minerals and appear mainly along the tectonic fractures present at this locality. |
Aplite and pegmatite sills and dykes are also common demonstrating that a metasomatic volatile-rich phase played an important role in leucogranite migration. |
The Whabouchi spodumene-bearing pegmatite is located in the middle of the Whabouchi Property, between Lac du Spodumene and Lac des Montagnes. |
In places, they contain blocks and fragments of surrounding lithologies as well as isolated boudins of granite pegmatite. |
Large anhedral masses of yttrian fluorite, measuring to several feet across, were found at the White Cloud pegmatite. |
