Even if the photo suggests it, this pegmatite at Mas Consul in Argelès-sur-Mer pegmatite field may not be so welcoming for the mineral collector. Indeed the pegmatite presents with a massive aspect with poor muscovite. In Berbain and al (2012): Phosphates des pegmatites du massif des Albères (Pyrénées-Orientales), Association Française de ...

The pegmatite field in Argelès-sur-Mer spreads over the Mediterranean Sea. It rises through the vegetation showing different shapes such as this particular rounded aspect. The pegmatites are in selected ones the cradle of a rich panel of phosphate micro minerals. Photo February 10, 2018.
The pegmatite field in Collioure and Argelès-sur–Mer is wide and some criteria have been set to choose the best outcrop for phosphate mineral research. - Favor pegmatites rich in muscovite, especially if the lamellae are large and colored. - Leave the pegmatites rich in tourmaline and with massive texture with dull aspect. - Focus on the ...
Type II : intermediate pegmatites similar with type 1 but containing Li-Fe-Mn phosphates, chrysoberyl and rare Nb-Ta-U oxides. Their dimension is also larger than type I reaching 200 m in length. They spread around the leucogranites in the sillimanite/K-feldspar zone and in the sillimanite/andalusite one. Particularly Zn-Phosphate minerals can be ...
