The Ngualla carbonatite complex is located 147 km northwest of Mbeya in southwestern Tanzania, tectonically situated on the southwestern margin of the Tanzania Craton, adjacent to the East African Rift System. The complex is roughly circular in shape with a diameter of about 3.8 km, surrounded by an approximately 1 km ring of fenite. The carbonatite complex includes a ring-shaped calcite carbonatite intrusion with large and small magnesiocarbonatite intrusions within it. An iron-rich ridge extends northwards from the magnesiocarbonatite intrusion, intersecting the calcite carbonatite; another iron-rich ridge is located in the southwestern alluvial deposits. In the carbonatite complex, a phosphocarbonatite unit contains more than 5% apatite, reaching up to 40%.
