1890 F. A. Genth & S. L. Penfield in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 139 122 The clear crystals..proved on examination to be a new mineral, having the composition MgCO₃.3H₂O, to which we have given the name Nesquehonite, after the locality where the mineral was found, the Nesquehoning Mine being one of the best known in Pennsylvania.

1934 Mineral. Abstr. 5 431 Galleries in the Cogne magnetite mine in serpentine rocks, at an elevation of 2500 metres in the Piedmontese Alps, have a constant temperature of 4°C., and this has favoured the formation of lansfordite..and nesquehonite.

1957 G. E. Hutchinson Treat. Limnol. I. x. 665 At ordinary temperatures the carbonate that precipitates when saturation is reached at from 10⁻³ to 10⁻¹ atm. of CO₂ is MgCO₃.3H₂O, or nesquehonite.

1988 Science 21 Oct. 417 Results from carbon-14 dating suggest that, although the meteorite has been in Antarctica for at least 3.2 × 10⁴ to 3.3 × 10⁴ years, the nesquehonite formed after AD 1950.
