Wollastonite (CaSi0 3) is a mineral with a wide and increasing range of uses. USA is the worlds major producer and consumer. At Ethiudna in the Olary Province wollastonite is associated with diopside, calcite, quartz and feldspar in the Ethiudna Calc Silicate Group, part of the Willyama Complex of Carpentarian age. This occurrence is similar to the two major operating mines in the USA and Finland. Mapping and Sampliing are required at Ethiudna to determine extent and grade of wollastonite bearing rocks.
