An article by A. R. Drysdall and A. R. Newton of the Northern Rhodesia Geological Survey in The American Mineralogist (vol. 45, January-February 1960), issued as the Survey's Occasional Paper No. 26. It describes blue asbestos found four and a half miles south-west of Lusaka as a stockwork of mainly slip-fiber veins. The authors classify it as magnesioriebeckite of probable metasomatic origin, compare it with Bolivian, South African and Australian deposits, and argue that crocidolite is not a true mineral name.
