Comments: | A cordierite group mineral having a composition within a few percent of the iron end-member, associated with a more abundant variety containing perhaps 75% of the iron end-member, occurs in bauxitic lithomarge intensely altered by the dolerite plug. The first occurrence in the British Isles of minerals near the sekaninaite end of the series; a cordierite with Fe = Mg was earlier reported from Scotland, see B. E. Leake (1960) Am. Mineral. 45,282-98, analysis No. 59. |
