Abstract

Examination of rock samples from Job's Hill, St Mary, Jamaica, by chemical, X-ray, differential thermal, and infrared analyses showed predominant dickite with associated nacrite and kaolinite. The uniqueness of this deposit makes it possible that selected material could be used as a standard mineral.
