Question---if you come across a granitic pegmatite, what are the things to look for that guide you to a "pocket"? Or guide you to large precious crystals? Larger grains? More garnets? Can you tell from it ringing hollow when you hit the rock with your hammer? The best part is at the border of the quartz center?
It's kind of random luck. But look for where veins of pegmatite intersect, that often helps. Bigger pegmatite zones tend to be more likely to have pockets.
Les nombreuses recherches dans Les regions de champs pegmatitiques occupant Sur Les deux continents un espace de plusieurs milliers de kilometres montant une altitude de quelques miles metres ont permits de verifier et d argumenter Les bases theoriques de comprehension actually de processus pegmatitiques au sein de la croute terrestre
