N2  - Meerchaum (Sepiolite), believed to be the first reported occurence in Malaysia, is studied by chemical, DTA, optical and x-ray methods. It occurs as a white fibrous mineral in the forms of stringers, veins and films along irregular fractures in the marble host rock from an abandoned quarry. Although meerschaum is a high value industrial mineral, used for making smoking pipes and cigarette holders, this occurrence is to small to warrant any serious investigation
