Comments:"Although this mineral is relatively rare at Phosphate Hill, it may be found in seams and fractures in greyish phosphorite where it usually occurs as sparkling drusy crusts of colourless, transparent, dipyramidal crystals less than 0.5mm across. Occasionally the fluellite may be found overlying or mixed with brown or white clay. Fluellite generally occurs alone, but a few specimens with wavellite and quartz have been found."
