Zebra Stone.
Zebra Stone is a distinctive reddish brown and white banded sedimentary rock from the east Kimberley of Western Australia. It is mainly composed of small particles of quartz and ‘sericite’ (fine-grained white mica). Zebra Rock also contains the minerals kaolinite, dickite and alunite. The colour banding of zebra rock probably formed by the rhythmic precipitation of iron oxide rich bands during the alteration of the rock by percolating fluids.
