Allanite is one of the main rare earth elements (REE)-rich accessory minerals in composite dykes from the granitoid pluton of Karkonosze. These dykes differ in composition from the bulk of the pluton by elevated rare earth elements (REE), Y, Zr, and alkali contents, suggesting contribution of an additional component. Allanite exhibits complex alteration textures, which can be divided into two stages. The first stage is represented by allanite mantles, formed by fluid infiltration into previously crystallized magmatic allanite. These zones have low totals, are Ca-, Al-, Mg-, and light REE (LREE)-depleted, and Y-, heavy REE (HREE)-, Th-, Ti-, and alkali-enriched. The fractionation between LREE and HREE was caused by different mobility of complexes formed by these elements in aqueous fluids. The second stage includes recrystallized LREE-poor, Y-HREE-rich allanite with variable Ca, Al, Mg, and REE-fluorocarbonates. The alteration products from both stages demonstrate higher Fe3+/(Fe2+ + Fe3+) ratios and a negative Ce anomaly. These features point to the alkaline, low-temperature, and oxidized nature of the fluids. The differences in mobility and solubility of respective ligands show that the fluids from the first stage may have been dominated by Cl, whereas those of the second stage may have been dominated by F and CO2 (and PO4 in case of one sample). The inferred chemistry of the fluids resembles the overall geochemical signature of the composite dykes, indicating a major contribution of the hydrothermal processes to their geochemical evolution.
