Occurrence and distribution. Crocidolite is found in Griqualand West, South Africa, where it has been mined successfully at various places in Prieska and Hay. The Griqua Town beds in which it occurs are of uncertain age, but they are very old and are either early Palaeozoic or pre-Cambrian. The crocidolite occurs in the form of thin veins (fig. 208) in a green slaty rock, forming layers that are interbedded with hard banded jaspers and ironstones.
