Quick facts General, Category ...

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]
