Abstract
This interesting new mineral was discovered by the first author in February 1933 whilst in the employment of the British South Africa Company Limited as a field geologist to the Rhodesia Minerals Concession Limited under the direction of Dr. J. Austen Bancroft. The locality, longitude 29° 29′ E. and latitude 15° 27′ S., is about eighty miles east of Lusaka, the new capital of Northern Rhodesia, after which the mineral is named. The central African plateau has here been cut back from the northern escarpment of the Zambezi rift valley, about 10 miles to the south, producing a rugged topography varying from 1,000 feet to 4,000 feet in altitude.
