Pegmatite Properties, Composition, Formation, Uses,
Pegmatite. Pegmatite is an igneous rock that form end of the stage a magma’s crystallization. Pegmatites contain exceptionally large crystals and they contain rarely minerals than other types of rocks. They have interlocking crystals usually larger than 2.5 cm in size. Generally most Pegmatites are found in sheets of rock that are dikes andPegmatites are intrusive igneous rocks of exceptionally coarse grain size, in which individual crystals can reach as much as tens of metres in size. Examples of giant crystals reported from pegmatite are a microcline measuring 49.4 × 36 × 13.7 m and weighing nearly 15,000 tons or a phlogopite plate with a size of 10 × 4.3 m (Rickwood Pegmatites SpringerLink

The timing and tectonic context of Pan-African gem
The mineral assemblage of the MNM pegmatite consists of K-feldspar, biotite, quartz, and zircon with accessory sphene and monazite, whereas the NNO pegmatites are composed of K-feldspar, quartz, muscovite and tourmaline with accessory zircon, garnet, and ilmenite (Fig. 2 f). A gradual decrease in the grain size is observed Most high-quality gem minerals occur in miarolitic cavities found near the centers of pegmatite bodies or in reaction zones between pegmatites and ultramafic host rocks.
