Wavellite

Wavellite gets its name from Named after William Wavell of England who discovered the mineral in a quarry in Devon, England in 1805.


Wavellite is a phosphate mineral, normally translucent green and can be found in fractures in aluminous metamorphic rock, in hydrothermal regions and in phosphate rock deposits.

I got these specimens from Kinokuniya, look at a close up picture, can you notice the circular habitat?
