Epidote, Quartz & Axinite
This year (2011) we made another new find in Western Australia.
This new discovery was made in the Pilbara region, southwest of the iron ore mining town of Newman.
a banded iron-formation (commonly jaspilitic)which is also intruded by metadoleritic sills.
The quartz, epidote, axinite mineralisation was evidently caused by hydrothermal activity related
to one of the above mentioned dolerite sills which is in close proximity to the occurrence.
