The principal ore is psilomelane,oheri very cavernous, and frequently 
containing scattered granules of braunite ; these 
otlh'orT P^«^ Pl^«es into big plates of this mineral, 
which is sometimes, as at Garividi, the pre- 
dominant mineral. Kidney-shaped and stalactitie varieties of psilo- 
melane have been found at Garbham, and the lead-like variety at 
Avagudem. Pyrolusite is also of fairly frequent occurrence, especially
