Plumasite-type corundum occurrences in the Nattivit area in South-East Greenland offer a unique opportunity to study corundum formation in-situ where pegmatites intruded into metamorphosed lherzolite and dunite of the Archean-Paleoproterozoic continental crust. The Nattivit area, located in the Iser...
