1878 M. F. Heddle in Min. Mag. 2 206 This substance..would seem to stand altogether apart from the mineral of which it has hitherto been considered a mere hydrated allomorph... From the felted character which has been noticed..I propose for it the name of pilolite.

1882 Amer. Naturalist 16 424 Pilolite is the name given to ‘mountain leather’, usually regarded as a fibrous amphibole.

1920 Brit. Mus. Returns 143 in Parl. Papers XXXVI. 673 A series of 72 selected specimens collected in Derbyshire, Cumberland, and Dumfriesshire, including fluor,..scheelite, pilolite, hausmannite, &c.

1990 Canad. Mineralogist 28 329/2 Nor is it clear how specimens described as palygorskite, ‘attapulgite’ and ‘pilolite’ differ and whether or not they represent distinct mineral species.
