| Comments: | "Koechlinite from Pittong consists mainly of a soft, pale yellow material showing a range of habits, from powdery masses to flattened aggregates of radiating fibres and needle-like crystals, up to about 0.6 mm long. The lustre varies from earthy to silky for the finer-grained fibrous aggregates, but more open clusters consisting of larger crystals have a pronounced glistening appearance. The colour of these aggregates tends to be a brighter yellow." | |
