Abstract/NotesAbstractSmall crystals of babingtonite and rare sphene occur in a coarse-grained aggregate of fluorapophyllite, stilbite, and calcite, infilling a late-stage cavity in granodiorite from Harcourt, Victoria. This is the first reported occurrence of babingtonite in Victoria. The assemblage crystallized from fluids in which Ca and F were significant and under P–T conditions of the order of 0.5 kbar, 100–150°C. Some of the fluorapophyllite has been altered to opaline silica suggesting that the residual solutions were acidic.
