Can the photos of stilbite from here be renamed stellerite and stilbite crossed out as erroneously reported?

The locality text says

"However, it should be noted that Stilbite is not found here. The literature is clear on this.

When originally found it was thought to be Stilbite but all "stilbite" from here is in fact Stellerite."


but there is no convincing reference given on either locality page or sublocality pages.

Anyone knows one?

Can someone check England, B. M. & Sutherland, F. L. (1988): Volcanic zeolites and associated minerals from New South Wales. Mineralogical Record 19, 389-406.?


PS From a thread in an Australian email list in 2003 (author Ralph Bottrill?):

"the tambar springs stellerite/stilbite was found by XRD analysis to be

90% of all specimens were stellerite and 10% were stilbite."

Thanks Uwe.


I found this: http://www.mineral.org.au/news/images/NSW/NSW%20MinSoc_newsletter_Sep10.pdf , containing a brief summary by the same Brian England that is the author of the Mineralogical Record article.
