Summary

The occurrence of dickite as a rock-forming mineral in sandstones of the Lower Carboniferous Series, the Millstone Grit, and the Middle Jurassic has been reported previously by the authors. In view of the paucity of data on this mineral, six samples were purified and examined optically, by staining tests, and by the X-ray powder method. In addition, a chemical analysis, a differential thermal analysis, and a thermal weight-loss curve were made on the purest sample. The investigations confirm the identity of the material.
