Extract

Pyrophanite was recorded by one of us in a recent paper as one of the minerals occurring at the Benallt manganese mine in the vein from which material for the chemical analyses of the new manganese-rich chlorite, pennantite, was separated. As this was only the third record of pyrophanite in the world it seems necessary to give, very briefly, the evidence for its identification.
