Plumboan crichtonite: from the Fazenda Guariba, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Senaite, Pb(Ti,Fe,Mn)21O38, a member of the crichtonite group, was first described from alluvial gravels near Dattas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. It was subsequently reported (always from alluvial stream gravels) from about seven additional localities. "Senaite' from the first in situ source in Brazil, at the Fazenda Guariba, Minas Gerais, Brazil was described by Cassedanne (1988). Approximately 20 crystals of "senaite' from the Fazenda Guariba were examined chemically and all were found to be plumboan crichtonite rather than senaite. -from Authors
