Umtali

In the Urals the crystals are found in quartz-veins traversing granite or gneiss: other localities which have yielded good crystallized specimens are Congonhas do Campo near Ouro Preto in Brazil, Luzon in the Philippines, and Umtali in Mashonaland.

I heard sometimes from Colonel Blow, in Buluwayo, and Gerry Deshon at Umtali; but people in Africa are always too busy with the interesting people round them to have much time for remembering those who have passed on elsewhere.

Umtali station in the near future.

The son of an Anglican priest, Tekere was born in the fertile Umtali district of eastern Rhodesia in 1937.

Reluctantly, he began to spend his nights at the home of a friend in the nearby town of Umtali.
