ⓘ Planerite

Formula: Al6(PO4)2(PO3OH)2(OH)8 · 4H2O

ⓘ 'Planerite-Turquoise Series'

Description: Originally reported to be coeruleolactite. All purported coeruleolactite examined by the authors of the 1998 report (Foord, E.E. & Taggart, J.E.) were largely Planerite, or occasionally turquoise. Published analysis indicates that the vacancy in the 'A' site is between 0.51-0.54 atom fraction, the balance in Cu-0.40 and Zn-0.06 to 0.09. It is suggested by this analysis that the turquoise structure likely cannot accommodate Ca in the 'A' site.
