An area where white to pink corundum crystals to several cm have been mined on a small scale from schists (Tom Kapitany, pers. comm.).
Pale-blue cordierite also occurs in phlogopite schist near White Well, 30 km north-west of Yinnietharra, Western Australia. Associated minerals are corundum, dravite, and sillimanite, accessory zircon and rutile. The cordierite is in translucent masses to 8 x 8 x 4 cm with vitreous lustre. The host phlogopite forms brown flakes to 1 cm.
Discovered around 1970 by the Kempton brothers, 4 kilometres south of Mount Yaragner and 1.5 kilometres from the south-western end of the Lockier Range.
The cordierite is contained within outcropping rims of two brown phlogopite schist bodies, filled with phlogopite debris.
