Varuträsk, Skellefteå kommun, Västerbottens län, Sverige

Varuträsk is a small town in Skellefteå parish, Skellefteå municipality, on the eastern shore of the lake Varuträsket.

There is also a pegmatite deposit well known to mineralogists, with, among other things, a number of very rare minerals.

Note: GPS coordinates are for the pegmatite, not for the village itself.

LCT pegmatite (Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum), quarried since 1933.

Discovered by the landowner Mr. Harald Holmgren, who started quarrying for quartz in 1933.

Later quarried periodically by Bolidens Gruvaktiebolag since 1936.

Several of the minerals were studied by P. Quensel and co-workers, all published in a series of articles in Geologiska Föreningens i Stockholm Förhandlingar (GFF) in the years 1937-57.

Shallow to moderate, NW-dipping lobate sheet (150 x 250 m)
Discordant to metamorphic foliations in host rock
Zoned aplite-pegmatite.

The deposit was discovered in 1933, and underground mining from 1936 to 1946 by Boliden Mineral AB (today New Bolden plc) produced 2,576 tonnes of Li and 349 tonnes of Cs ore. A historical, pre-regulatory, inferred mineral resource for the Varuträsk deposit is 0.4 Mt grading 0.12% Li.

Internally, the Varuträsk pegmatite shows a textural-mineralogical zonation consistent with progressive melt fractionation during emplacement. The zonation pattern is best developed in the eastern lobe in a symmetrical manner and consists of (1) a narrow fine-grained border zone of quartz and muscovite, (2) a wall zone with coarse quartz, muscovite, tourmaline (schorl), beryl, and rare löllingite, (3) an intermediate zone with K-feldspar, quartz, muscovite, beryl, lepidolite, spodumene and amblygonite, and (4) a lens-shaped core zone predominantly composed of milky quartz that is displaced towards the southern end of the eastern lobe.
