Extract

Ganophyllite was first detected in the Benallt mine as small fibrous patches varying in colour from pale pink to brown, in the thin vein cutting ore in the Ty Canol incline from which the manganese-rich chlorite, pennantite, was described. These were identified by X-ray photographs. It had previously been found at the neighbouring Nant mine by Sir Arthur Russell in 1911.
