Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The bronze-brown and crimson-pink Micas of the Sausar Series, from the Chikhla area, in Bhandara District, have been investigated and their optical and chemical characteristics have been recorded for the first time and discussed in detail. They are found to belong to the Manganophyllite, and Alurgite species and exhibit close affinitities with similar species reported from Sweden. These Manganiferous micas of Madhya Pradesh have obviously resulted from the diadochic replacement of Fe by Mn in the original Biotite and Muscovite of the Sitasaongi pegmatite, during the hydrothermal phase of crystallisation.
