The chabazite from Narre Warren is unusually rich in magnesium. Reference: Birch (1989) Zeolites of Victoria, p94.; W.D.Birch & A. and S. Johnson 1979. Zoned Siderite and zeolites from Narre Warren, Victoria. The Australian Mineralogist No.20 Feb/March 1979, pp 97-99 |

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."

| ⓘ Montmorillonite Formula: (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2 · nH2O Description: "X ray diffraction indicates that the dark brown or greenish black encrustations on the cavity walls and the inclusions in the siderite balls are of a montmorillonite group mineral.

| ⓘ Siderite Formula: FeCO3 Description: Siderite from Narre Warren generally occurs as lustrous hemispheres up to 1 cm in diameter, with colour ranging from golden brown to chocolate brown. Most noted from Narre Warren is the "basket weave" form of siderite which is where siderite has had a secondary growth through the srinkage cracks in the blue montmorillonite. Reference: W.D.Birch & A. and S. Johnson 1979. Zoned Siderite and zeolites from Narre Warren, Victoria. The Australian Mineralogist No.20 Feb/March 1979, pp 97-99 |
