Sakhaite, ca. Ca48Mg16(BO3)32(CO3)16(HCl,H2O)2, is a rare rock-forming borate-carbonate mineral typically occurring in high-temperature, low-pressure calcareous skarns. It forms a complete solid solution with harkerite, ca. Ca48Mg16[AlSi4(O,OH)16]4(BO3)16(CO3)16(HCl,H2O)2. The solid solution can be described with the general formula

Notably, the majority of ore deposits associated with granitic pegmatites are found in LCT pegmatites, which represent many of the world's resources of lithium, tantalum, cesium and beryllium. In contrast, the NYF pegmatites may be enriched in the rare earth elements (REE) and niobium, but they rarely contain economic resources of these metals. Compared with LCT pegmatites, NYF pegmatites have seen relatively little research. This contribution will compare recent work...

Les terres rares (TR) sont un groupe de metaux utilises dans de nombreuses nouvelles technologies. Leur production est limitee, il est donc important de trouver de nouvelles sources d'approvisionnement. Les TR sont divisees en TR legeres et lourdes, ces-dernieres etant plus rares et ayant plus d'applications. Les granites et pegmatites alcalins sont des roches riches en TR lourdes. Une partie de cet enrichissement est d'origine magmatique, mais le role des fluides hydrothermaux (i.e. eau, CO2, methane surtout) pose question. Ce manuscrit se concentre sur l'etude de mineraux communs (amphiboles, pyroxene, zircon) et des inclusions fluides de six zones du monde pour comprendre l'impact des fluides hydrothermaux par rapport a celui des processus magmatiques dans les granites et pegmatites alcalins. Les resultats montrent que la concentration et le fractionnement des TR sont lies a la circulation de fluides hydrothermaux riches en Na et K ou Ca et Na a des temperatures inferieures a 400 °C.
