Pennantite, a new manganese-rich chlorite from Benallt mine, Rhiw, Carnarvonshire

抄録

<jats:p>The manganese ores of the Benallt mine are pervaded by an orange-coloured mineral which occurs very poorly crystallized as patches and small specks in the matrix. Less commonly it occurs as minute flakes in the ore and sometimes as a constituent of very thin veins which traverse the ore. In some specimens the mineral is better developed. It then shows a good cleavage and resembles in appearance in thin section a weakly pleochroic mica or chlorite. Patches of this mineral in the matrix frequently enclose very small rounded garnets which are believed to be spessartine.</jats:p><jats:p>In 1932 Dr. A. F. Hallimond examined some sections of ore from the old Benallt mine for Dr. C. A. Matley and suggested that one of the constituent minerals might be a manganiferous chlorite.</jats:p>
