Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Papertzian) - Lepidomelane occurs in ' brilliant black foliated masses and hexagonal tables, the latter sometimes ten to twelve millimetres in diameter, in specimens of the sodalite met with in nepheline-syenite on lot twenty-nine of the thirteenth, and lot twenty-five of the fourteenth concession of the township of Dungannon....' (1892-3). The sodalite is said to occur in ' large masses ' and be ' beautifully coloured ' (1910). The nepheline syenite which hosts this mineralization has been sampled on behalf of the American Nepheline Co Ltd (1960).
