Fig. 22.-Primary beryl (Ber) and replacive beryl (Ber single prime)

The anhedral crystal of beryl (Ber) outside the idiomorphic K-feldspar (K) is primary, while the irregular form of beryl (Ber single prime) inside the K-feldspar is metasomatic. Ber single prime has the same orientation as the Ber.  Ber single prime replaces mostly K-feldspar rather than plagioclase and biotite. Crossed polars plus quartz plate. Shanbei leucogranite, Taishan County, Guangdong Province.
