A remnant flow, 400 m by 800 m, of late Miocene olivine leucitite outcrops at Cosgrove, 20 km east of Shepparton in northern Victoria. The dark grey lava contains coarse-grained pegmatoidal patches and veins up to 40 cm thick, with associated irregular vesicles.

| β Aegirine Formula: NaFe3+Si2O6 |
| β Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O Description: "In a pegmatoidal phase of the leucetite at the Cosgrove quarry analcime has been identified forming subhedral, turbid crystals possibly replacing primary leucite. Analcime also forms white, opaque prisms about 1.5mm long replacing nepheline in vesicles in the leucetite." |
| β Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| β Diopside Formula: CaMgSi2O6 |
| β Epidote Formula: (CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH) |
| β Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F |
| β Fluorapatite var. Carbonate-rich Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4,CO3)3(F,O) |
| β Leucite Formula: K(AlSi2O6) |
| β Magnetite Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2O4 |
| β Magnetite var. Titanium-bearing Magnetite Formula: Fe2+(Fe3+,Ti)2O4 |
