Abstract
Beryl pegmatite near Jabal Tarban forms a carapace on a small stock of alkali-feldspar microgranite. Geological, petrographic and geochemical features indicate a genetic relationship between pegmatite and microgranite. Crystallization of quartz and alkali feldspar from a low-Ca granitic magma resulted in formation of a residuum enriched in rare elements. Silica separated from this residuum to form a pegmatitic carapace over the stock; the remainder crystallized as the fine-grained albite-rich groundmass of the microgranite.
