Praveen Tantkar, Rajnikant Patidar, Vinod Agrawal
Abstract :
Carbonatites are rare igneous rocks having more than 50% of carbonate minerals. The mineralogy of the carbonatites is highly variable and contains calcite, dolomite, ankerite, natrolite, sodalite, apatite, magnetite, barite, fluorite, mica etc. in variable proportion. Geochemically the carbonatites also have very wide variation in major, trace and REE composition. There are only 330 known carbonatite occurrences in the world including one active volcano.
