Pastori Vein (Filone dei Pastori), Fosso Marcianella Pegmatite, Catri, Sant'Ilario in Campo, Campo nell'Elba, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy

(Filone dei Pastori, Fosso Marcianella pegmatite, Catri, Sant'Ilario in Campo, Campo nell'Elba, Isola d'Elba, Livorno, Toscana, Italia)

The "Filone dei Pastori" is characterized by a network of pegmatitic-aplitic veins crosscutting a granitic dike hosted in altered serpentinites. Such veins locally crosscut each other forming zoned pegmatitic pods with well developed aplitic "line rock" at thefoot wall and a miarolitic geochemically high evolved pegmatitic hanging wall. Yellow-green elbaite crystals characterized by large acicular black heads (schorl-foitite), pale blue to pale pink beryl, altered petalite and pollucite, Li-micas, etc. were recently found at this locality.
