Plate Tectonics and the Gemstone Deposits
Pegmatites These are granitic rock bodies (i.e. consists of quartz feldspar and mica) where most of the gemstones are formed and found especially the silicates. It is the last stage of solidification of magma and hence the minerals form here crystallizes at lower temperatures. Pegmatites are one of the most important rock bodies to explore for gemstones as it produces larger crystals.
