Malawi became an independent country in 1964, after previously being part of the British Commonwealth, under the name of Nyasaland from 1907.

Malawi is divided into 28 districts within three regions.

Only the district hierarchy is currently used on Mindat.

Note: An amethyst locality was entered into Mindat as being "12.8 km west of Balachardra in Malawi". "Balachardra", however, is almost certainly incorrect. The entry has been relisted as simply Malawi, so that the amethyst entry is now simply shown as Malawi.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Neoproterozoic to Cretaceous : 685 ± 62 Ma to 98.0 ± 13.1 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
