Lenses of schists are founded. Comments This interval of friable itabirite with lenses of schist are located closed of shear zone that is characterized by quartz and specularite associated a hydrothermal process. This process and mineralogy (white mica) of schist are probable responsible for values of alumina. The chemical formula is KAL 2 Si 3 AlO 10 (OH,F) 2 and the composition is 11.82% K 2 O, 38,38%Al 2 O3,45,23%SiO 2,4,29%H 2 O 18
