Varieties of Magnetoplumbite
Barian magnetoplumbite | First described by Holtstam (1997) as rare microscopic grains (generally ≤0.1 mm) in locally remobilized braunite‐silicate ore from the Mangruvan manganese‐iron deposit Nyberget ore field, Västmanland, Sweden. Microprobe analysis gave the following... |
