Description
Summary:A study investigated the formation of granitoids of Caucasus mineral waters based on evidence from a study of melt and fluid inclusions in minerals. he differences in fluid content in the groundmass of variously colored bands were controlled by various conditions and periods of its crystallization, various textural and material peculiar ities, and, thus, different colors of bands at the expense of more intense crystallization of feldspars in the groundmass of fluid rich bands. The formation of the contact dark zone permeable for fluid between bands results from autometasomatic low temperature hydrothermal alterations.
