The Great Dividing Range streches over a distance of approximately 3,500 kms along the east coast of Australia.
In the north it begins at Dauan Island off the northeastern tip of Queensland and runs down to the Grampians in western Victoria.
The width of the Great Dividing Range varies from approximately 160 kms (100 miles) to over 300 km (186 miles).

Grain size varies from a few mm to ~1.5cm.

Pale green muscovite coexists with the lepidolite in some specimens.
XRD analysis to distinguish from muscovite was inconclusive, however the association of habit, colour, and occurrence in a fractionated pegmatite, along with petrographic information indicates that the species is lepidolite. Reference: Personally collected by Ryan Eagle in 2009 |

| ⓘ Mercury Formula: Hg Localities: Description: "Ore samples shows that mercury almost always occurs associated with the quart-dolomite veins and patches. Within the veins these are small cavities, from a few millimetres up to about 15mm across, that commonly contain globules of mercury. Those globules less than about 0.5mm across are generally spherical but larger globules up to 3mm across, are irregular. One cavity contained a continuous film up to 10mm across. As well, mercury may infill gaps between quartz crystals. Tiny spherical globules may also be found scattered across the surface of fractures along very thin quartz veinlets." Reference: W.D.
