Abstract

The four amphiboles described in this paper were collected during the summer of 1950 from the Sitasaongi mine. This mine, which produces high-grade manganese ore, is situated in the Chikla area, Bhandara district, India. The ore band is 8 to 18 feet thick and is strongly folded and faulted at many places (fig. 1). The most common rock types in the area are: calc-granulites, calc-gneisses, mica-schists, quartzites, gondite (quartz-spessartine-rock), injection gneisses, and pegmatites. The pegmatites are the youngest and cut through the manganese-ore band as well as the country-rocks. All are of Archaean age.
