The Shire of Mount Alexander is a local government area in Victoria, Australia, located in the central part of the state. It covers an area of 1,530 square kilometres (590 sq mi) and, in June 2018, had a population of 19,514. It includes the towns of Castlemaine, Chewton, Elphinstone, Maldon, Newstead, Harcourt, Taradale, Vaughan, Fryerstown and Campbells Creek. It was formed in 1995 from the amalgamation of the City of Castlemaine, Shire of Newstead, and most of the Shire of Maldon and Shire of Metcalfe.

The Shire is governed and administered by the Mount Alexander Shire Council; its seat of local government and administrative centre is located at the council headquarters in Castlemaine, it also has service centres located in Maldon and Newstead. The Shire is named after the original name for the Castlemaine region and goldfields.

Babingtonite
Formula: Ca2(Fe,Mn)FeSi5O14(OH)
Description: "The babingtonite occurs as an elongated black crystalline aggregate, 2 cm by 3 mm in cross-section, enclosed partly by stilbite and partly by apophyllite. In addition, many small single crystals, up to 5 mm long, are enclosed in stilbite or apophyllite, or project into a small irregular cavity which has been etched from the apophyllite. The babingtonite crystals are glossy black, crushing to a dark greyish green. They tend to be slightly tabular and may show coffin-shaped longitudinal sections. Faces in the plane of flattening may be striated."

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Late/Upper Devonian : 376 ± 2 Ma

Important 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.
