Kombat Mine, Kombat, Otavi Constituency, Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia
| Locality type: | Mine | |
| Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| Species: | Asisite | |
| Formula: | Pb7SiO9Cl2 | |
| Comments: | In polished sections, asisite is seen to occur as euhedral to subhedral lathlike grains in colorless barite in the interstices of coarsely crystalline hematophanite. Less perfect grains are intergrown with other minerals and partially fill fractures and cavities in the hematophanite. Other minerals present in the barite matrix are jacobsite (containing inclusions of hematite and native copper), blades of molybdophyllite, and serrated laths of chlorite. | |
