About Hedyphane Group
Member of:
Name:
The group has its name after the most common and first described mineral in the group, hedyphane, originally described from Långban, Sweden.
A group in the Apatite Supergroup which includes hexagonal and pseudohexagonal phosphates, arsenates and sulphates containing different species-defining cations at both the M1 and M2 sites (Pasero et al., 2010).
