Abstract/NotesSummaryIn the rich mineral assemblage found in the pegmatites of Rhodesia and Uganda are members of the amblygonite-montebrasite series with Ξ± 1Β·592–1Β·615, Ξ³, 1Β·612–1Β·638, the highest values corresponding to montebrasite, Li1Β·98Al2Β·00 (P1Β·95O7Β·90)(OH1Β·90F0Β·20); apatite with up to 8Β·8 per cent MnO; heterosite (new analysis) and other manganese-iron phosphates; and a variety of niobium-tantalum and uranium minerals.
