Detailed Mineral List:

Calcite

Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

ⓘ Calcite

Formula: CaCO₃

Locality: Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

Description: Calcite at Harkaway is the last mineral to form and usually occurs as colourless elongated bipyramidal crystals.

Reference: W.D.Birch & A.Johnson 1984. Fluorapophyllite from Harkaway, Victoria. The Australian Mineralogist Apri 1984 pg 264

Fluorapophyllite-(K), etc.

Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

ⓘ Fluorapophyllite-(K)

Formula: KCa₄(Si₈O₂₀)(F,OH) · 8H₂O

Locality: Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

Description: "The crystals of Fluorapophyllite-(K) are generally equidimensional to slightly tabular, parallel to (001). The 001 'faces' may be rough and slightly convex. While single crystals up to 6mm across and groups of two or more inter-grown individuals may occur they are generally found as continuous crusts. They range from colourless to white, this variation often occurring within individual crystals. On a number of specimens the apophyllite crystals are skeletal due to severe etching."

Natrolite, etc.

Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

ⓘ Natrolite

Formula: Na₂Al₂Si₃O₁₀ · 2H₂O

Locality: Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

Description: At Harkaway, natrolite has been found mainly as well formed isolated prismatic crystals up to 6mm long and range from colourless to white.

Reference: W.D.Birch & A.Johnson 1984. Fluorapophyllite from Harkaway, Victoria. The Australian Mineralogist Apri 1984 pg 264

Phillipsite

Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

ⓘ 'Phillipsite'

Locality: Pioneer quarry, Harkaway, City of Casey, Victoria, Australia

Description: "Phillipsite" from Harkaway occurs as micro gemmy crystals forming very thin drusy crusts on the basalt.

Reference: W.D.Birch & A.Johnson 1984. Fluorapophyllite from Harkaway, Victoria. The Australian Mineralogist Apri 1984 pg 264
