Kolmozero Li deposit forms part of the Kolmozero pegmatite field and consists of 12 albite-spodumene pegmatite dykes and numerous small occurrences. The largest dykes have lengths of over 1400 m and thicknesses up to 65 m and extend to depths of about 500 m.
The pegmatite dykes do not display a mineralogical zoning at this scale of observation and comprise quartz (30โ35 vol.%), albite (30โ35 vol.%), K-feldspar (10โ25 vol.%), spodumene (~20 vol.%), and muscovite (5โ7 vol.%). Spodumene is the main host for lithium with 97% of the bulk rock Li2O in the Kolmozero pegmatites, 0.3% is carried by lithiophilite, 0.45% by muscovite, 1.93% by albite and 0.3% by K-feldspar. Beryl and columbite-group minerals are accessory and may have commercial by-product potential as a source for Be, Ta, and Nb. Other accessory minerals include spessartine, apatite, rare lithiophilite, triphylite, and tourmaline. Internal structures of the dykes are very simple where 85 to 90 vol.% of the dykes are composed of medium to coarse-grained quartz, spodumene, albite, muscovite, and megacrystic (blocky) K-feldspar. Individual spodumene crystals can reach up to 1.5 m in length.
