| Classification |
|---|
|
| Species: | 'Hydronephelite' (not an IMA approved species) |
| Comments: | Dennis Hill is the type locality for this mineral, but it has been shown to be a mixture of gibbsite, natrolite, and diaspore. Hydronephelite was once called "white sodalite" as it formed a rim on normal blue sodalite. It is also fluorescent in Shortwave UV. |
