Rare element pegmatites occur in less deeply eroded Abukuma-type metamorphic terranes, generally of cordierite-amphibolite facies. They are commonly peripheral to larger granitic plutons that, in many cases, represent the parental granite from which the pegmatite was derived. 1, record 1, English, - rare%20element%20pegmatite

Les pegmatites à éléments rares se rencontrent dans des terranes moins profondément érodés ayant été soumis à un métamorphisme de type Abukuma, généralement du faciès des amphibolites à cordiérite. Elles se trouvent souvent en périphérie de plutons granitiques plus vastes qui, dans de nombreux cas, représentent le granite parental duquel est dérivée la pegmatite. 1, record 1, French, - pegmatite%20%C3%A0%20%C3%A9l%C3%A9ments%20rares
