Fig. 61.-Nibble albitization happened first, followed
by nibble berylitization (Both mainly replace K-feldspar)
The
anhedral beryl (Be) outside the euhedral K-feldspar is primary, while the
irregularly growing beryl (Be single prime) inside the K-feldspar is formed by nibble
replacement. The swapped rows of albite (Ab

, C, D) occur and still remain at the grain boundary between the
residual K-feldspars K1 and K3 or K1 and K2
, which are partly replaced by Be single prime . The tiny swapped
