Weddellite has been identified by
X-ray powder diffraction from specimens found at the
east side of Moore lake, in Lutterworth Township, Haliburton
County, near Norland, Ontario. The mineral occurs
as snow-white spherical aggregates up to 0.5 mm in diameter
with altered amphibole and mica on marble. Oxalic acid
produced by lichens presumably reacted with calcite to form
weddellite, which probably is much more common than was
formerly suspected.
