Alphabetical List Tree DiagramDetailed Mineral List:
| ⓘ Albite Formula: Na(AlSi3O8) Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Andersine is the most abundant mineral in the cavities, generally forming simple, thin, tabular crystals up to 2 x 1 0.3 cm. They are greyish in hand specimen, but are nearly transparent when viewed under the microscope. The crystals are flattened parallel to (010) and may be slightly elongated parallel to the c axis. Occasional hollowed terminations are observed. Optically, the crystals are twinned on the Carlsbad and Albite laws and show only slight concentric zonation. The Portland occurrence is of some significance as free-standing crystals are rare." References: |
| ⓘ Albite var. Andesine Formula: (Na,Ca)[Al(Si,Al)Si2O8] Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Andersine is the most abundant mineral in the cavities, generally forming simple, thin, tabular crystals up to 2 x 1 0.3 cm. They are greyish in hand specimen, but are nearly transparent when viewed under the microscope. The crystals are flattened parallel to (010) and may be slightly elongated parallel to the c axis. Occasional hollowed terminations are observed. Optically, the crystals are twinned on the Carlsbad and Albite laws and show only slight concentric zonation. The Portland occurrence is of some significance as free-standing crystals are rare." References: |
| ⓘ Albite var. Anorthoclase Formula: (Na,K)AlSi3O8 Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "One feldspar crystal selected for microprobe analysis from the interlocking mass consisted mainly of anorthoclase, with a rim of andesine. However none of the other crystals examined microscopically show this relationship and it is not possible to establish how widespread anorthoclase really is." References: |
| ⓘ Analcime Formula: Na(AlSi2O6) · H2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Colour: colorless Description: "Water-clear trapezohedrons up to 1 mm across are found with chabazite or on andesine in vesicles in the basalt at the Cape Grant quarry. They are very rare."(Birch1989) |
| ⓘ 'Apatite' Formula: Ca5(PO4)3A Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Prismatic apatite crystals up to 2 mm long occur rarely in the high temperature vesicle assemblage in the Cape Grant quarry." References: |
| ⓘ Aragonite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ Augite Formula: (CaxMgyFez)(Mgy1Fez1)Si2O6 Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: Augite forms glossy black simple terminated prismatic crystals up to 2 cm long and as heavily striated non-terminated prismatic crystals up to 5 cm long. They are usually dark brown in transmitted light and appear to be only slightly zones concentrically. Hollow terminations are not uncommon. References: |
| ⓘ Calcite Formula: CaCO3 |
| ⓘ Calcite var. Iron-bearing Calcite Formula: (Ca,Fe)CO3 |
| ⓘ 'Chabazite' |
| ⓘ Formula: (Ca,K2,Na2)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia - erroneously reported Description: No reference given.
Zeolites of Victoria" edited by Bill Birch. Chapter 9 of the book has many analyses including one for Portland chabazite. On page 64. |
| ⓘ Chabazite-Na Formula: (Na2,K2,Ca,Sr,Mg)2[Al2Si4O12]2 · 12H2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Water-clear crystals of chabazite, up to 3 or 4 mm across occur sporadically in some cavities in the basalt, seated directly on the clay film, or where this is absent, on the andersine-augite-ilmenite crystals. The chabazite crystals are generally lenticular with a hexagonal outline, a form commonly given the variety term phacolite." References: |
| ⓘ Hematite Formula: Fe2O3 Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia References: |
| ⓘ Ilmenite Formula: Fe2+TiO3 Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Ilmenite is the dominant mineral in only a few cavities and is usually less prominent than andesine and augite. It generally forms thin, lustrous, black, hexagonal platy crystals up to 0.5 cm across but twinning may give rise to 'saw toothed' and spear shaped forms. The crystals usually show growth lines on their flat faces." References: |
| ⓘ Lime Formula: CaO |
| ⓘ Montmorillonite Formula: (Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2 · nH2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "A clay mineral, probably montmorillonite, which ranges in colour from dark greenish black to pale grey or brown, forms a thin coating over many andesine, augite and ilmanite crystals." |
| ⓘ Native Copper Formula: Cu Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Thin wires of native copper up to 2 mm long occur very rarely with chabazite in vesicles at Cape Grant." |
| ⓘ Natrolite Formula: Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O |
| ⓘ 'Phillipsite Subgroup' Formula: (Ca0.5,K,Na,Ba0.5)4-7[Al4-7Si12-9O32] . 12H2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Phillipsite is a rare zeolite of the Cape Grant quarry, forming colourless crystals up to 2mm long, typically with square cross section and pseudopyrimidal terminal faces. Multiple twinning is frequently observed, with many faces striated. Chabazite is often associated with phillipsite." References: |
| ⓘ Quartz Formula: SiO2 |
| ⓘ Thomsonite-Ca Formula: NaCa2[Al5Si5O20] · 6H2O Locality: Portland Harbour Trust Quarry, Cape Sir William Grant, Portland, Glenelg Shire, Victoria, Australia Description: "Thomsonite is the rarest of the zeolites at the Cape Grant quarry, forming globules up to 1.5 mm across. The globules are greyish and translucent, with a greasy lustre and a fibrous radiating structure. On some specimens, white hemispherical aggregates of thomsonite overgrow the more compact botryoidal coatings. Thomsonite may occur with analcime." |
