Uranium and REE-bearing Late Variscan alkaline pluton (composed mainly of quartz monzodiorite, granodiorite and quartz monzonite) which intruded into Silurian marble. It is an alkaline felsic complex 4.45 km in length and 0.5–1.3 km in width, composed of alkalic granite and syenite, which can be subdivided into syenite I and syenite II. The main minerals in each lithofacies are the same (albite, K-feldspar, quartz, arfvedsonite and aegirine).

ⓘ Hydroxycalciopyrochlore ?
Formula: (Ca,Na,U,◻)2(Nb,Ti)2O6(OH)
Description: Based on electron microprobe analyses, the formula of this mineral was reported as (Ca,Na)2(Nb,Ta)2O6(OH,F,O), which would correspond to hydroxycalciopyrochlore. Though, hydroxide contents are not reported and in some samples, fluoride could be dominant on the seventh anion site.
