We are interested in chemistry of ap,mnz,xen from point of view their separate dissolution as inclusions in granets for dating the last mineral.
Dear Prof. Levskii, I am afraid there is no garnet in my sample but the ap, mnz and xen are quite large enough to be date by in-situ processes. In addition I got plenty of hydrothermal zircon. These are pretty interesting. If you still interested for collaborative work please give me your mail id so that I we can discuss in depth over this issue.
Thanks for your concern.

How large are the crystals? Have you made BSE images of polished grains of these minerals? If the minerals are relative large and homogneous I might be interested. Can you give em some information?
They are quite large with diameter of few centimeters. These already hand picked. These are associated with magnetite. Interestingly these are zoned magnetite. I am looking to date the apatite and detailed mineral composition in order to establish their petro-tectonic significance. If you kindly send me your mail id I can send you some beautiful images of apatite.
Like A.Gerdes I also might be interested of these minerals. It can be a curious comparison of their ages in one rock. I think we can measure their age by TIMS method: Ap (U-Pb-Pb),Mnz (U-Pb), Xen ( U-Pb, Sm-Nd). we need c. 50-100 ng of everyone +Alb. B.w.
