摘要
Pseudoleucite occurs as large megacrysts (giant phenocrysts) in tinguaite at Ghori which is located in the Panwad-Kawant carbonatite-alkalic complex, India. In thin sections the pseudoleucite crystals show mainly an oriented intergrowth of nepheline and orthoclase with additional minerals phases such as white mica, analcime, sodalite and cancrinite. From mineralogy and geochemistry it is inferred that the scheme involving subsolidus breakdown of leucite and subsequent reaction with Na-rich fluids can satisfactorily explain origin of pseudoleucite crystals in tinguaites.
