Formula:
Zn1-xAlx(OH)2[SO4]x/2 · nH2O
Colour:
Pale bluish to bluish-white
Specific Gravity:
2.71 (Calculated)
Name:
Named as the zinc analogue of woodwardite. The species woodwardite itself was named after Samuel Pickworth Woodward (17 September 1821 – 11 July 1865), English naturalist and geologist. In 1845, S. P. Woodward became the professor of geology and natural history in the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. In 1848, he was appointed assistant in the department of geology and mineralogy in the British Museum. He proposed the term Bernician Series for the lower portion of the Carboniferous System, below the Millstone Grit.

The Zn analogue of Woodwardite. Chemically similar to glaucocerinite.
A hydrated basic sulfate with the Hydrotalcite structure. The formula was stated as a compound hydroxide-hydrated sulfate in the Lapis article, but is restated here to conform with the formula for Woodwardite.
The 3R and 1T polytypes commonly are intergrown.
