<title>Abstract</title>
<p>Small crystals of babingtonite and rare sphene occur in a coarse-grained aggregate of fluorapophyllite, stilbite, and calcite, infilling a late-stage cavity in granodiorite from Harcourt, Victoria. This is the first reported occurrence of babingtonite in Victoria. The assemblage crystallized from fluids in which Ca and F were significant and under <italic>P&#x2013;T</italic> conditions of the order of 0.5 kbar, 100&#x2013;150&#x00B0;C. Some of the fluorapophyllite has been altered to opaline silica suggesting that the residual solutions were acidic.</p></abstract>
