GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES OF ALWAR DISTRICT
Alwar district situated in the north-eastern corner of the state, is bounded by Jaipur,
Bharatpur, Karauli and Dausa district of Rajasthan and Mahendragarh district of
Harayana. It is situated between 27°4' and 28°4' North latitude and 76°7' and 77° 13' East
longitude, with greatest length of 137 kms. in N-S and 110 kms. in E-W.
The district covers an area of 8380 sq. kms. comprising 10 tehsils, namely Bahror,
Mandawar, Kishangarh Bas. Tijara, Bansur, Alwar, Ranlgarh, Thanaghaji, Rajgarh,
Lacchmangarh.
Recently brought on the broad gauge railway map of. India, Alwar city is, well
connected to important cities. Delhi the national capital is only 164 kms. north east of
Alwar. It is connected by State Highway No. 13 to Jaipur (126 kms.) National Highway
NO.8 passes through the north eastern part of the district touching Behror and
Shahjahanpur.
The district is fairly regular quadrilateral in shape. Ridges of rocky and
precipitous hills for the most part parallel to each other are a feature observable
throughout the district which however is generally open to the North. and East. The
district is characterised by north eastern part of Arava1li range which runs
uninterruptedly for about 81 kms intersecting the district in two parts. Major rivers
of the district are Sabi, Ruparel and the tributaries of Banganga river. Different types of
soils viz. Sandy loamy, sandy loam and clayey loam are found in the district.
Geology
Geologically the district is a mosaic of Pre-Cambri an rock units belonging to
Aravalli and Delhi Super group. Modified generalised stratigraphic sequence is as under.

Pre Delhi rocks of the district comprise quartzite and schist of variable nature &
composition, impure marble & granite. The metasediments are exposed around Rajgarh
near Ratanpura, Surer and Kaled, while exposures of granitic rock are scattered around
Parla, Reni, Mundia and Bhilkeri. Delhi super group starts with a basal conglomerate
which is arkosic at places. The entire sequence shows a facial change from calcareous
members in the lower to arenaceous members in middle and to a predominantly
argillaceous nature in the upper portion.
There are three distinct types of Post Delhi intrusives viz. sills and dykes of
amphibolites. and metadolerite, (ii) plutons of granites of variable dimensions and (iii)
pegmatite bodies. The basic bodies are older compared to the acid intrusives and
constitutionally range from amphibolites to meta dolerite. While acid intrusives are
represented by granite, aplite and pegmatite, quartz torumaline and quartz veins are more
frequent then pegmatites.
MINERALS OF ALWAR DISTRICT
A variety of minerals both metallic and non metallic are found in Alwar district.
The metallic minerals include copper, iron and manganese, while non metallic minerals
include batytes, silica sand, quartz, yellow ochre, pyrophyllite, soapstone, limestone,
granite and marble etc.
Details of mineral deposits are given below:
METT ALIC MINERALS
Copper
There are more then 30 recorded copper occurrences in Alwar district in addition
to the three well known copper deposits at Pratapgarh, Kho-Dariba and Bhagoni which
have been explored to various stages by different agencies.
The Bhagoni deposit is located near Tehla village where a large number of old
working mines and slag dumps indicate ancient mining activity, The mineralisation is in
enechelon pattern concentrated along a calcite vein. The ore zone persists over a strike
length of 1200 mts. The ore reserves have been estimated to the tune of 5.2 million
tonnes containing 1.07% copper (cut of grade 0.65% Cu). The ore also include traces of
gold, 1-3 gm/tonne of silver, 300-500 ppm cobalt and 150-200 ppm nickel as by product.
Kho Dariba copper deposit is located about 25 kms SSE of Sariska. The ore zone
is characterized by parallel concordant stringers with in phyllites and also
disseminations within quartzite with a total strike length of 3380 mts. The total
measured and indicated reserves are approx. 0.56 million tonnes with average 3.46%
Cu, over an average width of 6.70 mts.
Numerous old mine workings and mine shafts are distributed over 5 kms. along
NNE-SSW strike near village Pratapgarh. Near Naldeshwar village 123 old
workings have been found. Exploratoty work done by G.S.I. has indicated weak
mineralised zones containing 0.3 to 0.5% Cu over a width of 2.4 mts. Sporadic
0occurrences of copper have been reported from Kalozoda, Matasula, Baraund, Tatarpur,
Gola ka Bas, Angori etc.
Iron
Low grade iron ores have been reported from near villages Purana, Rajgarh,
Khanpur, Raipur, Bileta, Bhang, Kayasa and Kushalgarh etc.
NON METALLIC MINERALS
Barytes
Before the discovery of Relpatlia deposit Alwar district was contributing 90% of
Rajasthan's production of barytes. Here barytes is associated with quartz veins of varying
dimensions. Bhankara deposit is the largest. Baryte is massive and light pink in colour.
Other prominent deposits are located near villages Jharoli, Pehal, Reni, Dera, Sainpuri,
Zahir ka khera, Madhogarh, Ferompur, Gorah, Gujari and Bhagat Ka Bas etc.
Soapstone & Pyrophyllite
Significant occurrences of soapstone and pyrophyllite are located near villages
Sirawas, Ragoda, (teh. Alwar), Bagor, (teh. Tijara), Dhani Gujaran, Bavadi Bamanwas,
Nangal, Bhatpura Samore, Natala (teh. Thanagaji) Nangal, Chandel (teh. Rajgarh),
Khora, Karwali, Berta (teh. Laxmangarh), The soapstone of these areas is of DDT grade.
Limestone
Limestone bands are located near villages Malana, Rajgarh Berli, Asan, Ramroli
etc. Near Malana limestone is exposed for a strike length of about 2.2 kms. with average
width of 90 mts. A total of 22 million tonnes of cement grade limestone reserves have
been estimated in this area. In Berli area limestone band is exposed for a length of 1.2
kms. and width about 100 mts.
Felspar & Quartz
Vein quartz and zoned pegmatite having felspar are located near villages Adhira,
Hamirpur (teh. Bansur), Ragoda (teh. Alwar), Tatarpur (teh. Mandawar), Thatra (teh.
Rajgarh), Kho Ratakhurd, Raipur, Bedhin, Badkan, Kali pahari (teh. Thanaghaji) etc.
Silica Sand
Silica sand has been located in Narayani area. It is white in colour and Fine
grained. Reserves of 64640 tonnes with 98% silica have been estimated in this area.
Silica sand is also found as gritty quartzite near Ghyaspur extending from Narayanpur to
Bilia for about 1 km. length. Silica sand has also been located in Nathusar area where
investigations have been done by the state department in about 400 x 80 mts. area. The
silica sand of Ghatra area was washed in the ceramic laboratory of the department. It
was found that by washing it can be improved from 91.9 % silica to 98.36 %. Iron could
be reduced from 0.48 % to 0.32 % with sand recovery of 63 %. The estimated reserves
in this area are about 1.2 million tonnes. Small lenses of silica sand are also located near
Sahr oli, Chapra area.
Red & Yellow Ochre
Red and yellow ochre have been reported near village Bidaska (teh.
Laxmangargh), Neemla Guwara (teh. Thanaghaji), Nalpir (teh. Behror) Both red and
yellow ochre are suitable for paint and pigment industries.
Slate
Slate deposits are located near village Tesing, Nibhor, Bassi , Mehtabas etc. These
are thinly cleavable with buff to dark grey colour. Alwar district is sole producer of slate
in the state. Slates are being used as building stone and have now developed good market
of slate tiles, mainly used for paneling.
Graphite
Minor occurences of graphite have been located near villages Jadoli and Tagoda
being low in carbon content these deposits are economically unviable.
Granite
Granite occurrences have been reported from different localities in the district viz.
Harsora, Devson, Maluwas in tehsil Bansur, Khairthal teh. Kishanganj, Bas and near
Dhuninath temple in teh. Thanaghaji. Granite is coarse to medium grained having various
shades of grey to pink. State Department has established reserves of 28 million cubic
meters in this area.
Marble / Dolomite
Good quality marble is available in small areas in Alwar dist., around villages
Dadikar, Kaled, Nalgaon and Kushalgarh. Other known occurrences are near Malana,
Govardhanpura etc. In Palpur- Kho area dolomite is exposed in an area of about 3 kms.
length and 2 kms. width. In this belt three probable zones of S.M.S. grade dolomite were
delineated. The tentative reserves are about 200 million tonnes. At present it is being
quarried as marble.
Besides above, other minor minerals like masonary stone, bajri, chert, brick
earth, and shale also occur and are being mined in the district.
Mineralwise production, sale value, revenue and number of labours engaged in
mining activity in Alwar district for the year 1997-98 is given in table-1.
Mineral Based Industries
Alwar district has gained an important place in building and decorative stones.
The marble and slate stone deposits are well known. About 11 major and 9 minor
minerals are produced in the district on which about 260 mineral based industries in
medium to small sector have been established. These include 15 gangsaws and 50 cutters
for marble & other stonnes.
The main industries are marble cutting and polishing mini cement plants, sanitary
wares, glazed tiles, insulators, potteries, mineral grinding and pulverising units, chips
making units. slate stone cutting units, lime and brick kilns, pesticides, barium chemicals
etc. There is scope for setting up of more such cutting-polishing, tiles and pottery
industries in the district. However, a large number of mineral areas fall in reserve
forest/game sanctuary and this has hindered the mining and industrial growth of the
district.
Mineral Administration
Mineral administration work in the district is looked after by Mining Engineer,
Alwar which is under Suptdg. Mining Engineer, Bharatpur. The geological work is
carried out by office of Senior Geologist. Alwar which is under Suptdg. Geologist,
Jaipur. This office looks after the geological work in Alwar, Bharatpur, Dhaulpur and

SANDSTONE IN RAJASTHAN
Rajasthan is an important and largest sandstone producing state in India. The
sandstone deposits are mainly confined to the Vindhyan Super group of rocks, which is
exposed over an area of about 34,000 sq.kms. covering parts of Dhaulpur, Bharatpur,
Sawai Madhopur, Tonk, Boodi, Jhalawar, Kota, Bhilwara and Chittorgarh districts in
eastern Rajasthan and scattered outcrops in Jodhpur, N agaur and Bikaner districts of
western desert plains.
The Vindhyan sandstone particularly of Bhander Group constitute great store
house of excellent stones because of their regular bedding, uniform grain size, splittable
nature and durability.
Sandstone has variety of uses such as roofing, flooring, paving, panelling,
beams, pillars, doors and window-sills, wall facings, fence-posts, milestone etc. It is also
suitable for carving and making perforated windows and jallis. This sand stone is being
quarried and used from centuries and number of historical buildings and monuments such
as Buddhist stupas of Sarnath, Red Fort of Delhi, Parliament house, President house,
National Museum, Chittor Palace, Jodhpur etc. are made of this stone.
At present, sandstone is quarried at number of places in Chittorgarh, Bhilwara,
Boodi, Kota, Jhalawar, Tonk, Sawai Madhopur, Dhaulpur, Bharatpur, Jodhpur, Nagaur
and Bikaner districts and about 1892 leases of sandstone are sanctioned. In the year 199697 more than 47 lac tonnes of dimensional stone was quarried by which the state
government has earned a revenue of Rs.18. 6 crores by way of royalty and dead rent.
Geology
In the Vindhyan sequence of Rajasthan there are four sandstone horizons in lower
Vmdhyan and five in upper Vindhyan. Contemporaneous to the upper Vindyans of
eastern Rajasthan there are scattered sediments in western Rajasthan known as Marwar
Supergroup. The stratigraphic succession of sandstone is given below:

Districtwise description of the deposits in Rajasthan is given below :
Jhalawar District:
Sandstone in the form of slabs and pillars is mined on large scale in Jhalawar
district. There it is associated with two horizons (i) Jhalrapatan sandstone of Lower
Vindhyan and (ii) Lower Bhander sandstones of Upper Vindhyans. It is fine grained,
hard, compact and of different colours such as white to buff, pale grey, red, cream, brown
spotted. The important mining areas are Loharia ki Dhani, Manak Chawk, Bagdhar,
Bakaspura, Asnawar Bhanwrasa Bhalta etc. all belonging to Jhalrapatan sandstone. The
Bhander sandstone quarries exists near Ambala and Laxmipura.
The non flaggy sandstone is quarried and used as massonary stone at number of
places around Jhalawar, Asnawar, Jhalrapatan etc. In most of the flaggy sandstone areas,
masonary stone is found as overburden.
Kota District:
Two horizons of sandstone exists in Kota district.
(i) Sandstone near Khimuch : Khimuch is an important locality from where
white sandstone is produced. The sand stone belongs to Jhalra patan sandstone of Semri
Group. The outcrops of sandstone starts from about 2kms. North of Khimuch and
continues due south-east of Suket and pass in to Jhalawar district.
Most of the slabstone produced in the area is 4cm to 10cm. thick. The thicker
size than this is called "Mukkasar" and used for roofing purpose. The white colour of
sandstone is quite regular. Since the sandstone is very hard as such it takes polish with
great difficulty but if once polished it remains for a very long period.
The area falls on the state highway No. 1 between villages Suket and Dhabadeh.
Morak railway station is about 2 kms. away from main quarries.
(ii) Red Sandstone: The important quarries are concentrated near Borawas,
Deoli, Kasar, Mandana, Kanwas, Badora, Kishanganj villages. The rock formation
belong to lower Bhander group of upper .Vindhyans. The flaggy sandstone exposed in
the quarries are ,well jointed and these joints help in developing quarries and taking out
slabs easily. The formations are almost flat in all the areas.
Most of the sandstone produced from these areas is varying in thickness from 3cm. to
8cm. The colour is reddish brown to fawn colour.
Bundi District:
The lower Bhander sandstone of Vidhyan Supergroup in Bundi district has given
good splittable sandstone horizons. There are known working quarries around
Dhaneshwara, Dab, Budhpura, Lambakho, Naroli, Patopara, Rajpura, Gudhia etc. The
sandstone is pinkish to brownish in colour, fine to medium grained, jointed and well
bedded. The dips are almost flat.
Bhilwara District:
Large expanse of the upper Bhander sandstone is exposed around Menal in the
south-western corner to Bundi in NNE. Bijolia is a small town located about the
middle of it and quarries have developed all around those places with greater
concentration towards the south and west. The sandstone is purple, reddish brown with
pale white bands and is compact, massive and having quadrangular joints. The
sandstone is quarried at number of places, important being Bijolia, Barisal, Nava
Nagar, Banio-ka- Talab.
Karauli District:
Karauli sandstone is an excellent building stone as it is amenable to receive good
polish and intricate carving meant for lattices and arches. The sandstone occurs in the
form of hill range crossing across the district. Most of the quarries are situated in nearby
areas of Karauli and Sapotra tehsils.
The sandstone is fine to medium in grain size, compact and moderately hard and
has good splitting property by which almost smooth surface bearing slab of 5 to 10 cm.
thickness can be obtained.
Recently Mines & Geology Department has identified five splittable sandstone
blocks viz. Bhauapura- Ratiapura (10 sqkm.) Kasara (2.88 Sqkm.) Chobe ki Guwari
(4.88 sqkm.) Mokanpura Berda (2 sqkm.) and Bhakri (5 sqkm.) of about 25 sqkm. total
area. These are 10 to 40 km. away from Karauli town and well connected with tar road.
After drilling up to 15mts. depth it has been proved that 2 to 3 splittable sandstone zones
of about 3m thickness occur below 1 to 2m depth from the surface, with 2 to 4m.
intervals between each successive zones. Sandstone is red and buff in colour, fine
grained and bedded in nature. These blocks are outside forest and leasehold areas.
Important sandstone mining localities are Bhadupura and Madibhat in Sapotra
tehsil where as Parasari, Makanpura, Barda, Bhanpura and Maon villages are in Karauli
tehsil, other localities are Godi-ka-Gaon, Moder, Langare, Guwadi, Dewari Piparan,
Makori, Karshai, Kashare, Sewali of Karauli tehsil; Chamble ki Guwadi, Lohare in
Sapotra tehsil. Besides in Rajoli, Kamalpura village of Toda - Bhim, Bapoti, Mangrol
and Tali hill of Sapotra tehsil, sandstone is quarried for mill stone because of its greater
hardness and massiveness.
Dhaulpur District :
The upper Bhander sandstone of Vindhyan Supergroup is extensively spread over
the district. This sandstone is pinkish and buff white in colour. It is medium grained with
silliceous and ferrugineous as cementing material. This sandstone is widely used as
decorative stone. The famous historical building like Rashtrapati Bhawan, Lal Quila (Red
fort), Sansad Bhawan and Fatehpur Sikri are made up of Dhaulpur sandstone. Mostly in
building it is used for wall clading. The main localities are near village Chilachand,
Khushalpura, Tajpura, Khidarpura, Chandpur, Vasrani, Bijouli, Barouli, Kharagpura and
Baseri etc.
Bharatpur District:
Sandstone of Vindhyan age is extensively mined in Bharatpur district. Splittable
sandstone is available near village Bansi Paharpur, Bandh Baretha, Turtipura, Tarsuman,
Singhwali etc. Sandstone varies in colour from buff-red to pink and creamish pink at
places spotted pink is also seen.
Jodhpur District:
Jodhpur sandstone belongs to Jodhpur Group, the formation has been designated
as Sonia formation and Girbhakar formation. Sandstone is quarried for masonary stone,
slabs and aslets. It is buff-pink to grey, medium to coarse grained in nature and is well
sorted. Important mining areas of sandstone are located near Soorsagar, Fidusar,
Balsamand, Mandore, Keru, Badli, Balesar, Setrawa, Kali-Bhuri Bari, Ghoda ghati .
Survey for new sandstone areas has been carried out by department from time to time.
The new areas of sandstone in Keru-Badli were opened up after departmant survey by
srilling to see the continuity and depth. Drilling for pichyaka and splittable zones were
identified from 10 to 13 mts. depth.
Nagaur District:
Vindhyan sandstone is exploited for various types of building material at Nagaur,
Khatu and in Ladnu areas. The Khatu sandstone is especially carved into fine window
screens with geometrically perforated "Jallis". The Nagaur, Harsolao and Ladnu
sandstones are quarried and used as masonary stones. The Harsolao sandstones also used
to prepare the Ghati.
Chittorgarh District:
The splittable sandstone belonging to Bundi hill formation of Middle Bhander
Group occurs in Menal, Kokra, Rawarda, Gopalpura, Umar and Dharola area of Begun
tehsil. This sandstone is pink to reddish brown and khaki in colour, fine to medium
grained, compact and ferrugineous in nature. Generally 0.50 to 1.50 metre thick splittable
zone is occuring in the area under a 0.75 to 1.50m. thick overburden of non splittable
sand stone locally known as "tola".
