Dobrá Voda

Granitic lepidolite pegmatite in Strážek Moldanubicum. Symetracilly zoned steeply dipping dyke up to 6 m thick and about 100 m long in amphibolite and gneiss. Known since 1934.

It consists of (1) a volumetrically dominant marginal granitic unit, (2) a graphic unit, (3) a coarse-grained albite unit with blocks of K feldspar, which is subdivided into three subunits: (3a) muscovite albite, (3b) outer lepidolite–albite, and (3c) inner lepidolite–albite. Subunit 3c is adjacent to (4) a lepidolite unit in the central part of the dike. Amblygonite–montebrasite and pseudomorphs of spodumene + quartz intergrowths after petalite occur in subunits (3b) and (3c). Typical accessory minerals include andalusite, dumortierite, (Nb,Ta)-oxide minerals (manganocolumbite, stibiotantalite, microlite, manganotantalite), apatite, zircon and cassiterite (Novák & Staněk 1999, Novák & Taylor 2000).

NOTE: Not to be confused with the Dobrá Voda locality in Bohemia (Ag-(Au)-polymetallic mineralization).
