ⓘ Delvauxite

Formula: CaFe₄(PO₄,SO₄)₂(OH)₈ · 4-6H₂O not confirmed

References:

Collection Arliguie M

ⓘ Destinezite

Formula: Fe³⁺₂(PO₄)(SO₄)(OH) · 6H₂O

References:

Hatert, F., Deliens, M., Fransolet, A.-M., Van Der Meersche, E. (2002) Les minéraux de Belgique (2nd ed.) Muséum des Sciences Naturelles, Bruxelles.

ⓘ Diadochite

Formula: Fe³⁺₂(PO₄)(SO₄)(OH) · 6H₂O

ⓘ Ferristrunzite

Formula: Fe³⁺Fe³⁺₂(PO₄)₂(OH)₃ · 5H₂O

Habit: very brittle, elongated crystals, mostly less than 1 mm long, forming dense aggregates, either with radiating arrangement or with random orientations.

Colour: light yellow to nearly white, depending on the aggregate assemblage, with a silky to pearly lustre.

Description: Accompanied by cacoxenite responsible for the frequent darker yellow colour of the aggregates. On the larger ferristrunzite needles, cacoxenite occurs as encrustations of small individual crystals (up to l0 µm long).

Colour: white

Description: Analysis has shown the presence of trace amounts of K, Si, and Cl (Van Tassel, 1985).
