Allanite-(Ce) : {CaCe}{Al2Fe2+}[O|OH|SiO4|Si2O7], Clinopyroxene Subgroup, Andradite : Ca3Fe3+2[SiO4]3, Calcite : CaCO3, Titanite : CaTi[O|SiO4]

Mary Kathleen Mine, Mary Kathleen district, Mt Isa - Cloncurry area, Queensland, Australia

Thin section of skarn from Mary Kathleen. Very pleochroic dark brown-green euhedral allanite, green clinopyroxene and light brown andradite dominate the section, surrounded by calcite. Lath shaped, small brown crystals are likely titanite. Many of the colourless inclusions in the allanite are possibly apatite. The slide is 2.5cm tall.
