Geochemical analysis of ten (10) representative pegmatite samples reveal high silica (SiO2) 66-78 wt % and alumina (Al2O3) 10.08-19.57 wt % contents. The alumina (Al2O3) is greater than the alkali Na2O + K2O +CaO in all the rock samples by values ranging between 1.43 and 4.90 wt % implying that the rocks are peraluminous. MgO …
