A manganese mine started before 1906 mined from a 1000 m long orebody.
Coordinates are from Lahiri (1972) and were improved using satellite images.

The manganese ores of the Kajlidongri mine consist of massive supergene manganese oxides and Mn-silicate rocks (gondites) belonging to the Jhabua Manganese Belt of the Aravalli Supergroup. The Jhabua Manganese Belt is hosted in deep water sediments.

The Jhabua Manganese Belt rocks consist predominantly of various types of phyllites interbanded with either massive quartzites rich in conglomerates and pebble beds or calcareous phyllites and dolomitic marbles. The rocks have been strongly deformed and the folds run parallel to the regional trend. Granites of different periods are present, and one that has intruded into the metasediments in the western parts of the Kajlidongri mines is accompanied by widespread feldspathization. A number of thin manganiferous quartzites and cherts, which carry manganese deposits, occur within the green chlorite-rich or white and grey sericite-rich phyllites.

The Kajlidongri mine rocks are metamorphosed to chlorite facies by regional metamorphosis but have (near intruding granites and pegmatites) seen higher temperatures.

The blue and violet amphiboles commonly labeled "winchite" are heavily zoned and the following amphiboles have been identified from these crystals: tremolite, manganoan cummingtonite, magnesio-arfvedsonite, manganoan eckermannite(?) and magnesioriebeckite in addition to ferri-winchite. Winchite has not been identified from this locality.

ⓘ Calcite

ⓘ Eckermannite ?
Formula: NaNa2(Mg4Al}Si8O22(OH)2
Colour: Deep-blue
Description: Nayak and Leake refers to an analysis by Lahiri(1971) corresponding to eckermannite: (Na0.38K0.16)0.54(Na1.58Ca0.42)2.00(Mg3.08Mn2+0.47Fe2+0.02Fe3+0.62Al0.80Ti0.03)5.53(Si7.49Al0.51)8.00O22(OH)2. Normally, the amphiboles from Kajlidongri have Fesup>3+>>Al.In addition they are zoned and hincluded by other minerals such as albite. The occurrence of eckermannite is therefore considered questionable until confirmed by modern analytical techniques ( microprobe).

ⓘ Ferri-leakeite (TL)
Formula: [Na][Na2][Mg2Fe3+2Li]Si8O22(OH)2
Type Locality:
ⓘ Ferri-winchite

ⓘ 'Juddite'
ⓘ Magnesio-arfvedsonite
Formula: {Na}{Na2}{Mg4Fe3+}(Si8O22)(OH)2
Description: The purple and lilac amphiboles from Kajlidongri Mine are zoned and may contain multiple amphibole species, but they are mostly magnesio-arfvedsonite. An analysis from Leake et al. (1981) is typical and corresponds to (Na0.47K0.21)0.68(Na1.58Ca0.42)2.00(Mg3.95Mn2+0.07Fe3+0.88Al0.08)4.98(Si7.98Al0.02)8.00O22(OH)2

Description: The Kajlidongri mine is generally considered the type locality for winchite. However, the mineral published as winchite by Fermor (1906) and Leake et al. (1986) has Fe3+>> Al so that the type material of "winchite" is in reality ferri-winchite. See ferri-winchite for further details.
