Mineral chemistry of columbite–tantalite from spodumene pegmatites of
Although Fiege et al. (2011) and Aseri and Linnen (2011) showed that the solubilities of columbite-(Mn) and tantalite-(Mn) in nearly fluid-saturated granitic melts are independent of F concentration in these melts, Fiege et al. (2011, p. 173) concluded that "a complex interaction of e.g. Li, F, B and P may influence the solubility of minerals ...
