Description The Minh Tien pegmatite in northern Vietnam is an elbaite-subtype granitic pegmatite with a mixed LCT+NYF geochemical signature. Tourmaline composition corresponds to fluor-liddicoatite, fluor-elbaite, and rarely also a Pb-analogue of fluor-liddicoatite. The primary lead enrichment in tourmaline is related to alteration of amazonite. Textural relations show that the Pb-rich tourmaline (Tur 1) formed together with lepidolite during metasomatic albitization of K-feldspar, and the further three generations formed during hydrothermal reaction of Li,B,F-rich fluids with Tur 1, K-feldspar and albite.
