Pegmatites are heterogeneous, strongly fractionated, with high Li and Ta contents and extremely high Cs contents. According to the classification of ČERNÝ & ERCIT (2005), the Namacotche granitic pegmatites belong to the Rare Element (REL) class, REL-Li subclass, complex type and spodumene - lepidolite - elbaite subtype. At the major pegmatite body exposed at the main open pit, the pale colored gemstones, morganite (pink Cesian-beryl), kunzite-triphane (spodumene) and elbaite(tourmaline), are hosted in dilation cavities (tension gashes), predominantly at the inner intermediate zones.
