Phosphate mineral From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lulzacite is a strontium-containing phosphate mineral with the chemical formula Sr2Fe2+(Fe2+,Mg)2Al4(PO4)4(OH)10.[2][3]
The mineral was first described in 2000 from quartzite deposits (47°42′50″N 1°29′20″W) at Saint-Aubin-des-Châteaux, Loire-Atlantique, France, and is named after Y. Lulzac, a French geologist who discovered the mineral. In this deposit, lulzacite occurs within quartz and siderite veinlets at quartzite–limestone contacts. Other minerals found in the veinlets include apatite, goyazite, and pyrite.[4]
Lulzacite crystallizes in the triclinic system with P1 space group. It is isostructural with jamesite (Pb2Zn(Fe2+,Zn)2Fe3+4(AsO4)4(OH)10).[4][5]
