Albitite

a veined crystal-granular mineral consisting mainly of albite, sometimes with an admixture of quartz, muscovite, garnet, and acmite. Albitite can take the form of hydrothermically metasomatic formations linked with alkaline intrusions (in the Khibiny Mountains), with iron-ore formations (in the Ukraine), with gold-ore diorites (in the Ural Mountains and in California), or with ultrabasic rocks (in the Urals).
