Abstract/NotesWhile examining some vermiculite deposits at Dangin in 1940, on behalf of Messrs. Brisbane Wunderlich Co., Ltd., some rather friable gneissic to schistose rocks associated with one of the vermiculite occurrences were seen to contain an appreciable amount of a pale bluish mineral which from its optical properties was determined as sapphirine. As this was the first record of sapphirine from Western Australia, the mineral was separated and later chemically analysed at the Government Chemical Laboratory. Descriptions of the occurrence, characteristics, and genesis of this sapphirine and the associated rocks are set out in this paper.
