Large-scale Li-REE pegmatite deposit, consisting of 71 granitoid pegmatite veins cutting Hercynian plagioclase granite and two mica granite. About 26 veins contain Li, Be, Ta, and Nb. Vein no. 112 is the largest; it consists of an EW-trending main vein with branches, is 1100 m long and trends NS. Six mineralization zones are observed: (1) albite-moderate-coarse grained microcline; (2) albite; (3) quartz-albite-pyroxene; (4) quartz-albite; (5) sugary albite; and (6) quartz albite. All but the last zone contain spodumene, of which the largest observed crystal measured 60 x 240 cm.
