Wavellite is an aluminium basic phosphate mineral with formula Al 3 (P O 4) 2 (O H, F) 3 ·5 H 2 O. Distinct crystals are rare, and it normally occurs as translucent green radial or spherical clusters. [6]

2024年7月1日 · Wavellite is a mineral that belongs to the phosphate class of minerals. It is renowned for its distinctive crystal formation, which often occurs in spherical or radial aggregates of tiny, bladed crystals. Wavellite is primarily composed of hydrated aluminum phosphate, and its chemical formula is typically given as Al3(PO4)2(OH)3·5H2O.

Named by William Babington in 1805 in honour of Dr. William Wavell (20 December 1750, Newchurch, Isle of Wight, England, UK - 15 May 1829, Barnstaple, England, UK), a physician, botanist, historian, and naturalist in Harwood Parish, …

Wavellite is a rare phosphate mineral that crystallizes in the form of clusters, stalactites, skinny needle-like crystals, or as a spherical structure. The color most associated with this mineral is green to light green, but can also be found as white, …

Wavellite is a classic radiating mineral, forming spectacular pinwheel aggregates emanating from a central core in spherulitic balls. When the balls are complete, the radial structure is internal and not usually visible.

wavellite, hydrated aluminum phosphate [Al 3 (PO 4) 2 (OH) 3 ·5H 2 O], a common phosphate mineral that typically occurs as translucent, greenish, globular masses in crevices in aluminous metamorphic rocks, in limonite and phosphate-rock deposits, and in hydrothermal veins.

Wavellite is a rare phosphate mineral that crystallizes into clusters, stalactites, needle-like crystals, or spherical structures. Wavellite is an aluminium basic phosphate mineral, meaning it contains aluminum, phosphate, and hydroxide ions in …

2019年5月11日 · Wavellite is a translucent stone with a vitreous to resinous or pearly luster. It’s named after the English physician who first discovered it, William Wavell. Wavellite exhibits different shades of green, which range from dark emerald …

Wavellite is a phosphate mineral with formula Al 3 (PO 4) 2 (OH, F) 3 ·5H 2 O. It normally occurs as translucent green radial or spherical clusters. Wavellite exhibits different shades of green, which range from dark emerald green, apple green, bright green, to pale green.

2018年9月12日 · Wavellite is a secondary mineral found most often in aluminous, low-grade metamorphic rocks. It can form even within marine sediments, where phosphorus is leached from shells of dead organisms and transported by groundwater.
