crystallization. In cases where a parental granite pluton is not exposed, one is inferred to lie at depth. Lithium-cesium-tantalum LCT pegmatite melts are enriched in fluxing com-ponents including H 2 O, F, P, and B, which depress the solidus temperature, lower the density, and increase rates of ionic diffusion.
