Abstract

The Blond peraluminous leucogranitic stock, which is a part of the Limousin in Massif Central of France, ranges in composition from two micas leucogranite to topaz–albite leucogranite which are associated to topaz microgranitic dyke (ongonite). The topaz-bearing granitic rocks recognized in this area appear as minor and late components of the massif. Analysis of topaz features within this facies allows the setting of a typological classification based upon the relationships between habits, chemical composition, and the genesis conditions of this mineral. The primary, magmatic nature of topaz has been inferred by microtextural investigations, whereas electron microprobe analyses indicate that topaz lies entirely within the space defined by natural F-OH topaz solid solution series at moderate pressures. The F-content ranges from 14.39 to 20.14 wt.% and OH/OH + F ratio ranges from 0.04 to 0.31. Two separate generations of magmatic topaz, including an early-stage medium-F topaz and a late-stage high-F topaz, are shown. These characteristics could be related to high HF concentration in the melt, while the effect of temperature on the F-content of topaz as it was demonstrated experimentally can be reviewed.
