| ⓘ Gonnardite Formula: (Na,Ca)2(Si,Al)5O10 · 3H2O Description: "At the Tylden quarry, gonnardite has been found abundantly as botryoidal coatings and hemispheres of white acicular sprays up to 5 mm in diameter. These crystals were previously identified as mesolite, however X-ray diffraction and microprobe analysis showed that they consist of a thin natrolite-rich rim on a gonnardite-rich core. This zonation can be seen on broken spheres which show a pearly, white radiating fibrous structure of platy crystals. The gonnardite/natrolite is associated with chabazite and appears to have crystalized first." Reference: W.D.Birch 1989.

It consists of thin, roughly hexagonal, translucent plates up to 2 mm in a cavity lined with greenish montmorillonite. The crystals are twinned with (0001) forming the contact plane. Phillipsite crystals are found on the specimen although not in the same cavity as the levyne."
The levyne is not analysed, but given the nature of the other zeolites at Tylden it is likely that it is the Levyne-Ca type. Reference: W.D.Birch 1989. Zeolites of Victoria, The Mineralogical Association Of Victoria No. 2 pp. 75-84 |

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Miocene : 6.13 ± 0.06 Ma to 5.83 ± 0.06 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
