<title>Abstract</title>
<p>An occurrence of yellowish green to green dufrenite in iron-formation from Proterozoic metamorphites on Kangnas farm near Aggeneys, Bushmanland, South Africa is described. The mineral formed by reaction between iron oxides and hydroxides and a phosphate, probably apatite. It was identified by its characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern, but microprobe analyses presented here indicate that the chemical compositions are extremely variable.</p></abstract>
