Gördes (Menderes Massif) Pegmatoids

Abstract: Gördes pegmatoids are the veins with the strikes of NE-SW and E-W, Eventhough their width is not more than 30m, their length can be several kilometers. They have very plane mineralogical composition. They contain Na-feldspar+Kfeldspar+quartz+muscovite+biotite+turmaline and garnet. E-W directional pegmatoid veins also additionally include the rarelyfound beryl. They are ordinary pegmatoids without zonetion. Pegmatoid veins with NE-SW and E-W direction present distinctions in terms of mineral and trace element contents, homogenization temperatures and salinity values of fluid inclusions ofquartz. K-feldspars of NE-SW directional pegmatoids contain higher amount of Ba, Sr respect to E-W directional pegmatoids,but lower degree of Rb/Sr rations. The both of vein groups had not very well defined fractional crystallization and NE-SW directional pegmatoid veins relatively formed earlier than the other. Albite-oligoclase composed plagioclases, and orthoclasemicrocline structured K-feldspar are dominant in the NE-SW directional pegmatoids and in the E-W directional pegmatoids respectively. K-feldspars of both pegmatoids veins are on the orthoclasemicrocline transformation boundary, and show as well asmonoclinic and hightriclinic symmetry. According to the equilibrium diagram of alkali feldspar, minimum formation temperature of K-feldspars are thought to be about 450-500°CIn quartz fluid inclusions of the NE-SW directional pegmatoids, 7-8%, 9-10 % salinity (Nacl) and 500-520°C formationtemperature, on the other hand in quartz fluid inclusions of the E-W directional pegmatoid veins 9-10%, 12-13% salinity and500-560°C formation temperature were obtained.The NE-SW directional pegmatoids can be exploited for muscovite, feldspars and to get beryl as by-product. It is mostlikely possible that these veins can contain 2053 tons of beryllium reserve.
