Abstract
This study will focus on stichtite from two locations that contain the most abundant deposits of stichtite. The first location in Tasmania, Australia includes the Stichtite Hill locality (the type locality for stichtite) and the Tunnel Hill locality. The second location is at the New Amianthus Mine, Barberton District, South Africa. The broad geographical distribution of stichtite in deposits ranging from the Archean tho the early Cambrian, provides a window into the history and chemistry of serpentinizing environments on Earth through time.
