| ⓘ Strengite Formula: FePO4 · 2H2O Habit: spheres and discs with radial structure, sheaf-like aggregates, rarely bigger than 0.2mm Colour: rarely colourless, usually white References: |
| ⓘ Formula: Mn2+Fe3+2(PO4)2(OH)2 · 6H2O Locality: Mont-des-Groseillers, Blaton, Bernissart, Hainaut, Wallonia, Belgium - erroneously reported Habit: radiating rosettes Colour: straw yellow to greyish yellow Description: Van Tassel (1966) originally described "his" material as being "a strunzite-like material, completely Mn-free and with little or no divalent FeO". However, due to a lack of sufficient data, it was not submitted as a possible new species at the time.
Later, Peacor et al. (1987) state that the mineral they name "ferristrunzite" is "essentially the Fe3+ analogue of strunzite and ferrostrunzite", i.e. exactly the same "Mn-free strunzite" as reported by Van Tassel back in 1966.
In 1990, when Dillen & Van Goethem described ferristrunzite from Haut-le-Wastia (Dillen, H., Van Goethem, L. (1990) Ferristrunzite. Bulletin van de Belgische Vereniging voor Geologie, 99(3-4), 399), Van Tassel confirmed again that any and all "strunzite" from Blaton he had analysed over the years, had turned out to be recently named ferristrunzite (Rik Dillen, pers. comm.) References: |
| ⓘ Variscite Formula: AlPO4 · 2H2O Habit: spheres or kidney-shaped aggregates up to 1mm Colour: greyish-white |
| ⓘ Vivianite Formula: Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2 · 8H2O Habit: rosettes up to 1cm Colour: blue Description: Usually coated or even completely replaced by an unidentified light yellow amorphous iron phosphate References: |
| ⓘ Whitmoreite Formula: Fe2+Fe3+2(PO4)2(OH)2 · 4H2O Habit: (hemi)spherical aggregates up to 1mm consisting of radially grown platy twinned (identifiable by the reentrant angle at the top) crystals around a usually hollow core Colour: beige, (greenish) brown to golden yellow Description: First identified in June 1980.
Crystals can be distinguished from similar cacoxenite crystals by their high lustre and more platy crystals (cacoxenite shows more acicular crystals with virtually no lustre).
Associated with ferristrunzite clusters and/or less frequently with single beraunite crystals. References: |
