Abstract/NotesWhile I was engaged on the geological survey of the Postmasburg manganese fields during 1927 the rare mineral zunyite, a basic orthosilicate of aluminium, was discovered in some altered highly aluminous shales or flagstones. The only occurrence of zunyite so far known is in Colorado, where, according to Dana's ‘System of Mineralogy’, it was found at the Zuñi mine, Anvil Mountain, San Juan Co., and near Red Mountain, Ouray Co.
