Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Ambadungar; Ambadongar; Amba Dongar carbonatite complex; Ambadungar‐Saidivasan alkaline carbonatite complex
Carbonatite complex that intrudes Bagh sandstones (Cretaceous) and overlying Deccan basalt flows (Eocene), both of which, but particularly the former are in places fenitized.
The alkaline carbonatitic complex of Ambadongar is located approximately 38km south of Chhota Udaipur.
Fluorite veins and replacement deposits occur in both sövites and ankeritic carbonatites and are the largest fluorite deposits in India. They have been worked since 1970 and reserves were originally estimated at 11.6 million tonnes at an average of 30wt% CaF₂. There are also potential deposits of barite.
