Lavendulan from
Copper smelter slag locality, Kall, Euskirchen, Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany


Locality type:Slag Locality
Classification
Species:Lavendulan
Formula:NaCaCu5(AsO4)4Cl · 5H2O

Comments:Blaß & Graf (1995) describe a "lavendulan-mineral", which has a PXRD close to that of lavendulan, but P instead of As; thus, these authors did not realise their mineral is in fact sampleite.
