Ore petrography of low-grade siliceous manganese ores …
Quartz grains show a disconnected linear pattern (see Fig. 2 d). The ore is massive, hard, and compact in nature. Under the microscope, quartz grains of different shapes and sizes are seen intertwined with cryptomelane. The quartz is often seen in elongated form and contains fine inclusions of cryptomelane (see Fig. 3 d). (3) Hard …
