Feldspars of ceramic pegmatites ofSouthern Karelia
Abstract
Recently, a discussion has developed regarding the genesis of pegmatites. The beginning of this discussion was laid by D. S. Korzhinsky in 1937. In 1944, A. N. Zavaritsky demonstrated the inconsistency of the physicochemical substantiation of the pegmatite process proposed by Vogt and Niggli and accepted by A. E. Fersman. Later, in 1947, he put forward a new theory of the genesis of pegmatites, contradicting the idea that pegmatites are a product of direct crystallization of residual melt (A. E. Fersman's theory). According to A. N. Zavaritsky, the main structural features of pegmatites are created as a result of recrystallization of certain igneous rocks. Next, V. D. Nikitin, who studied ceramic and mica pegmatites (1946-1951), based on a detailed analysis of the relationships between individual minerals and structural components of pegmatites, developed ideas about the genesis of pegmatites of this specific type, which are basically consistent with the theory of A. N. Zavaritsky. However, much effort is still needed to more fully resolve issues related to establishing all the features of the transformations that both the deposits as a whole and the individual minerals that make them up undergo during the complex and lengthy process of pegmatite formation. This article highlights the main features of the evolution of feldspars in ceramic pegmatites of Southern Karelia.
