Abstract

A special investigation of fluid inclusions and geochemical and isotopic studies of their typomorphic features were carried out for danburite and datolite from skarn associations of the Dalnegorsk borosilicate deposit. The results of these detailed investigations showed that the microelement composition and formation conditions of danburite from Levoberezhnyi quarry and for datolite from the Zapadnyi quarry confirmed that these minerals belong to different stages of the deposit formation, stages with a contrasting difference in the mineral formation regimes.
