The Garrawilla volcanics, extensive Triassic-Jurassic olivine basalt flows, commonly contain some important deposits of zeolites and other minerals, and at least 90 occurrences are known (England, 1989). Most of the best specimens have probably come from the Garrawilla and Mitchell creeks, on the Garrawilla, Glendowda and Mt Mitchell Stations, though there are many similar zeolite locations in the area so it’s hard to be sure about individual specimens. Specimens have also been variously labelled as Tambar Springs (about 25 km away from Garawilla), Mullaley (35km), Coonabarabran (45km) and Gunnedah (60km).
