Developed in the 1990's for a few months only. It was active again in the early 2000's, the stone used in the Crown Casino Melbourne.
It is a mid grey to black dolerite. Ophitic (a term for a rare texture) olivine-orthopyroxene bearing dolerite, when tilted at angles shows moveable plays of light reflected by plagioclase laths, olivine grains, and microplaty dendrites enclosed in the ophitic pyroxene crystals.
