Whitlockite (original) (raw)

A valid IMA mineral species - grandfathered

About WhitlockiteHide

This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.

Formula:

Ca9Mg(PO4)6(PO3OH)

The given IMA formula (not editable here) for whitlockite shows the monofluorophosphate (PO3F)2- ion rather than hydroxylated phosphate (PO3OH)2- ion. The latter anionic group is correct; the former, attributed to the now-discredited whitlockite group mineral bobdownsite, was determined to be an analytical error.

Colour:

Colourless, grey-white, light pink, light yellow; colourless in transmitted light.

Lustre:

Vitreous, Resinous

Name:

Named after Herbert Percy Whitlock (31 July 1868, New York City, New York, USA - 22 February 1948), Curator of Minerals, American Museum of Natural History, New York (USA).
