1.3 Availabili ty of Minerals: 

The Karur District is comprised with khondolite and charnockite group of rocks,both constituting the Eastern Ghat super group of Archaean age. The khondolitegroup comprises sillimanite gneiss with or without garnet, calc granulite and

crystalline limestone, while the charnockite group includes magnetite quartzite withor without grunerite, basic granulite and charnockite. They were all formed due togranulite facies grade metamorphism of preexisting aluminous, calcareous, silicioussediments and basic flows.

Low grade to Cement grade limestone is found extensively at Kulithalai Taluk(Thevarmalai, Melapaguthi, Varavanai, Vellalapatti, Keeranur, Pothuravuthampatti, Kalladai, Kaliyapatti etc., villages), at Aravakurichi Taluk (Esanatham,

 Ammapadi. Alamarathupatti, Thennilai etc., villages) and K.Pitchampatti of Karur Taluk. Thelimestone is being used at Cement industries, as fillers in the fertilizer and in the

cem factories. Presently 30 leases are existing at Karur District.

Milky to glassy variety of Quartz and Potash feldspar with an average of 12%potash is the common economic mineral available extensively at AravakurichiTaluk (Pungambadi-West, Nagampalli, Punjaikalakurichi, Pavithram, Soodamani,Venjamangudalur (East), Aravakurichi, Kodanthur (South), Rajapuram, Kodaiyuretc., villages) less prominently at Kulithalai Taluk (D.Edayapatti, Sengal,Varavanai, Pannapatti, Vadavambadi etc., Villages) and at Karur Taluk (Velliyanai-South Village). High grade Quartz is being exported, low grade used in themanufacture of glass and Feldspar in the ceramic and tile manufacturingindustries. Presently 42 leases are existing at Karur District.

 Apart from the above good quality of Gem variety such as Ruby (cordierite inthe cordierite sillimanite gneiss) and beryl (acquamarine in the pegmatite vein inacicular shapes) are the common man’s hunt at Keeranur, Muthunaickenpatti,Varavanai and Pannapatti villages of Kulithalai Taluk. Other gem variety suchglassy crystallised quartz, amythist and moonstone (catseye) etc., are alsoprevalent.

GRANITE 

There are good quality of hard rocks which are particularly available atKulithalai and Aravakurichi Taluks. But the rocks available at Thogamalai,

Naganur, Kalugur and Porunthalur of Kulithalai Taluk are of export worthy and

they are being operated for the extraction of granite blocks both by M/s.TAMIN

and private companies.
