Formula:
Fe2+Fe3+2(PO4)2(OH)2 · 8H2O
Colour:
Light brown to orange-brown
Lustre:
Sub-Vitreous, Resinous
Specific Gravity:
2.514 - 2.519
Name:
Named in 2012 by Curt George Segeler, Paul Brian Moore, M. Darby Dyar, Frank Leans, and James A. Ferraiolo in honour of Max Felix Theodor von Laue (1879-1960), professor of physics at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute (now Max Planck Institute), Berlin, Germany and in the University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany. Laue was the first to verify that minerals had a regular atomic arrangement, as had been predicted by previous physicists. He directed the original experiments using x-rays to obtain a diffraction pattern that became the method for determining crystal structures. And for it being the ferrous analogue of laueite.

Special Storage/
Display Requirements:
Crystals easily dehydrate, especially under a microscope lamp, and become ivory-coloured. It is suspected that only water which is hydrogen-bonded and not ligated to a metal are lost.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
