bit of history for those who appreciate
little hidden gem in the below snippet who can find it ?
Kangankunde is located 35 km W of Liwonde and 75 km N of Blantyre, just east of the main Blantyre-Lilongwe road (Fig. 1). It is formed of a single large hill, with two small knolls to the north and the south. It predominantly comprises monazite-bearing magnesio- and ferro-carbonatites, mapped as arcuate lobes around the center of the hill (Fig. 1). These have been the subject of various exploration campaigns (e.g., Holt 1965; Dallas et al. 1987). Around the outside of the carbonatite are numerous pods of carbonatite-derived silicified rocks, termed quartz-druse rocks, of different varieties, including monazite-, florencite-, and apatite-rich examples (Garson and Campbell Smith 1965; Wall and Mariano 1996). Cross-cutting relationships and isotope analyses show that these rock types are derived from late stages of carbonatite activity (Garson and Campbell Smith 1965; Wall and Mariano 1996; Wall 2000).Apatite-rich varieties of these silicified rocks are of particular interest for this study due to their similar habit to rocks from Tundulu. The rocks contain approximately 40% apatite, 40% quartz, and 20% Fe-oxides. On this basis, the rocks have been termed quartz-apatite rocks, using the British Geological Survey (BGS) rock classification scheme (Robertson 1999). Minor xenotime-(Y) mineralization has also been described overgrowing niobian rutile crystals (Wall and Mariano 1996), suggesting possible low tenor HREE enrichment.
