For comment, see http://www.mindat.org/mesg-7-34670.html
See also Keith Compton note 2016: "Virtually all of the 90 or so localities for zeolites and related minerals found to date (2016) are located in an area of approximately 250 square kilometres approximately 20 km East of Coonabarabran, 500 metres west of Tambar Springs and 10 km South-West of Mullaley. This area is around 30kms South-West of Gunnedah. I would venture to say that all the zeolite specimens shown as being from Gunnedah are in fact not from Gunnedah and should be listed simply as Pottinger Co. It is far more likely that these are from Garrawilla or Tambar Springs."
