| ⓘ Hydroxylapatite Formula: Ca5(PO4)3(OH) References: Analysed by Peter ElliottIdentification: Dealer/Collection Label |
| ⓘ Manganite Formula: Mn3+O(OH) |
| ⓘ Metaswitzerite Formula: Mn2+3(PO4)2 · 4H2O Habit: micaceous blades Colour: brown Fluorescence: none Description: Originally called switzerite, which was redefined as a higher hydrate. |
| ⓘ Parahopeite Formula: Zn3(PO4)2 · 4H2O |
| ⓘ Parascholzite ? Formula: CaZn2(PO4)2 · 2H2O Description: Described as tiny white, tubular crystals to 1mm intergrown with all Scholzite. |
| ⓘ Phosphoferrite ? Formula: (Fe2+,Mn2+)3(PO4)2 · 3H2O Description: Given that the description given in the Catalogue of South Australian Minerals - 1983 reads; "minute clear crystals have been tentatively identified from the Reaphook Hill zinc phosphate deposit." I would suggest this was gained from a visual identification of what was latter found to be Hillite (2003). |
