Abstract: | Skarns of magmatic origin, or magmatic skarns as called, are formed by crystallization of skarnic magma injecting into structural fissures. They occur in various rocks (rock formations), mainly in form of veins. Usually, they possess massive structure and cumulative texture. They mainly consist of calc silicate, without or with minor water bearing silicates. The typical minerals in it include alkali feldspar, calcite and anhydrite. Some silicate melt inclusions and high temperature, high salinity poly phase inclusions can be seen in the crystals of their host minerals. The particular members of the magmatic skarns are transitional skarn and skarnic pegmatite. The magmatic skarn and the congenetic alkali rich diorite usually collaborate in a conjugating and complementary manner. They probably are the products of calcic contamination, degassing, desilicification and separation in melt state of deep seated (high level magma chamber) alkali rich intermediate acid magma. |
