Abstract

Rocks and Minerals are inseparable. The area of our investigation is located at the southern horn of India – Velimalai Hills, where still no great mineralogical surveys are done. This study is the first of its kind of analyzing the presence of different minerals in these rocks. The Rocks samples were collected and they were subjected to X ray diffraction study. The minerals were analyzed. Their presence was confirmed. Among the collected samples, the study was carried out for 3 samples.
