| ⓘ Dickite Formula: Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4 |
| ⓘ Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3F Description: Carbonate-fluorapatite has recently been identified in the south Wales coalfield. It occurs within ironstones as minute water-clear crystals with a superficial resemblence to tthe infinitely more common siderite. |
| ⓘ Fluorapatite var. Carbonate-rich Fluorapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4,CO3)3(F,O) Description: Carbonate-fluorapatite has recently been identified in the south Wales coalfield. It occurs within ironstones as minute water-clear crystals with a superficial resemblence to tthe infinitely more common siderite. |
