This mineral directly occurs at 9 localities (9 localities according to mindat, 34 localities if parents are counted as well)
Of the 9 localities at which this mineral occurs, 3 have an age. (13 of the 34 parent localities have ages)

MD	The mineral occurs at this locality according to MED, but does not have an age yet.
MD	The mineral occurs at this locality according to MED, and has an age.
	The mineral occurs at some child of this locality.
	The locality at which the mineral occurs does not have an age...this is the closest parent locality with an age, relative to that mineral. This is not ideal.

A	This mineral is Anthropogenic.
G	This mineral is directly dated.
B	This mineral is reported as having this age.
Y	This mineral is using an age reported as an element mineralization period.
O	This mineral is using an age calculated from all data at the locality.
R	The age displayed for this mineral originates from a different, non-child locality.
P	The age displayed for this mineral is the range of ages for this mineral at all of this locality's children.
	This mineral's age has not yet been recorded.
