Basalt (olivine tholeiitic) rock sourced from an operating quarry, located about 25km north from the city of Melbourne (Victoria, Australia). The basaltic lava flows in the district forms part of the Quaternary age (Ma), Newer Volcanic Province. The mineralogy of this lithology consists of mainly andesine plagioclase (63%) with lesser clinopyroxene (15%) and olivine (6%), minor primary minerals (magnetite, ilmenite, k-feldspar) and secondary minerals (vermiculite, siderite, chlorite and calcite).
