Important Update News

The RRUFF Project has been migrated to RRUFF.net. Please update your bookmarks immediately, if you have not done so.

The data on this website is already three years out of date, and the entire website will be taken offline before the end of the year.

We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.




The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

(2003)10.1127/0935-1221/2003/0015-0427EJM15_427The manganese ores of Kajlidongri (Nayak 1966, 1969a; Ostwals and Nayak 1993) occur in syngenetic bands of manganese oxides and silicates enclosed in quartzose rocks, interbedded with phyllites, quartz schist, and gondites (metamorphosed, non-calcareous magniferous argillites and arenites) of the Aravalli Supergroup. Subsequent to their formation, post-tectonic epigenetic activity introduced veins cutting across the above-mentioned rocks, with later supergene alteration.
