Locality:
Don Hill, Devonport district, Tasmania, Australia
Numerous remarkable "textbook" twinned phillipsite crystals were collected by Brian Carney in 1986. (See Minerals of the Road Cutting, Don Hill, Tasmania, by Brian Carney, Microprobe V 8-2, 11/95). The locality, 6 km west of Devonport, is now covered by the roadway. Cavities lined with phillipsite, often with subsequent deposition of chabazite and siderite, were known to occur as large as two meters across. Photomicrograph © Saul Krotki 2004 (.0561). Field of view 2.0 mm, within a 10 mm cavity.
